The first step to owning your own Kangaroo Bob’s children's franchise is to complete Kangaroo Bob’s Request for Consideration Form (RFC) with as much detail as possible (if you have not already done so). This will give us the necessary information to help us better understand your background and your plans for owning a Kangaroo Bob’s.
Step 2: Franchise Sales Director Meeting
After completing the RFC and submitting it to us, the next step is to discuss your plans and the information from your completed RFC with Steven Yates, who heads up our Franchise Recruitment process.
Step 3: Franchise Disclosure and Due Diligence
If, during the first meeting with Steven you are interested in continuing the process towards owning a Kangaroo Bob’s, he will provide you with our disclosure document, commonly referred to as the UFOC. This document is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and certain state laws and explains in detail a Kangaroo Bob’s children's franchise. The franchise agreement that you would sign is included in the UFOC for you to start reviewing. We will need the signature receipt page at the back of the UFOC as a record that we properly gave you this document. The FTC requires that you not sign a franchise agreement or pay the franchise fee if you have not first been given the UFOC to review for 10 business days. This is the time you should be conducting your due diligence on the Kangaroo Bob’s brand.
Step 4: Franchise Application
After you have addressed all of the pre-ownership issues listed above and you are ready and committed to own your own Kangaroo Bob’s, the next step is to complete the franchise application. Steven Yates will collect your application and put together the complete “review package” for Kangaroo Bob’s Executive Franchise Review Committee. Kangaroo Bob’s Executive Franchise Review Committee meets every Monday and Thursday to review franchise applications. The Executive Franchise Review Committee will determine in the meeting, if we will invite you to a Discovery Day at our Kennesaw store.
Step 5: Discovery Day
Discovery Day consist of an entire day at Kangaroo Bob’s where you will see the product in action and meet the entire Kangaroo Bob’s team which consists of executives, our Director of Operations, our construction consultant, and our preferred/master real estate broker. The purpose of this day is to have you experience our team games and to answer any questions.
Our Founder, Sam Kellett, will present the vision and values of the company, the company story, and why we feel you will be successful. This presentation will be followed by an operational overview of the prospect’s business, a review of our franchise services, a presentation by our real estate broker, and a presentation by our construction consultant.
Step 6: Signing the Franchise Agreement & Paying the Franchise Fee
If Kangaroo Bob’s Executive Franchise Review Committee approves your application, you will be sent the franchise agreements that you will be required to sign. Again, an exact copy of these agreements are incorporated in the UFOC. The FTC and certain state laws also require that you hold these agreements for 5 business days before you can sign them and pay the franchise fee. Once the holding period of 5 business days has passed, you are now ready to sign the agreements and return them to us, along with the franchise fee. Once we receive the signed agreements into our corporate office with the franchise fee and all necessary documentation, we will countersign your agreements and send you back a copy.
Step 7: The Fun Begins!
Once we have countersigned your agreement, you are now officially a Kangaroo Bob’s franchisee and our franchise services team will begin working directly with you to open your store as quickly and efficiently as possible.
