BAM Franchising

The vendor opportunity at BAM Franchising

BAM Franchising operates a retail non-food concept with 223 total units, 217 of which are franchised. The system is headquartered in Utah and reported an Average Unit Volume (AUV) of $507,684.25 in its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. For software vendors, the primary opportunity lies in serving a network where the franchisor exerts clear control over technology selection, creating a single point of influence for enterprise-wide deals. The royalty rate is 6.0%.

Who controls software purchasing

The buying center at BAM Franchising is centralized at the headquarters. The FDD lists Mike Wu as the Chief Technology Officer, making him the most relevant executive for initial outreach on any technology solution. The executive team also includes Ammon McNeff (CEO & President), Matthew McNeff (COO), Reed Brimhall (CFO), and Darin Hicks (Chief Development Officer). The presence of a named CTO and a mandated technology stack signals that software evaluation and purchasing authority rests with the corporate office, not individual franchisees.

Mandated and current tech stack

The franchisor mandates a "POS System and Software" across its network. The specific vendor or product name for this system is not disclosed in the FDD. This gap in public documentation represents a direct intelligence need for any vendor selling point-of-sale, payment processing, or adjacent operational tools. No other mandated or recommended technology systems are named in the filing. Vendors offering complementary solutions—such as inventory management, scheduling, or loyalty platforms—should investigate integration capabilities with whatever POS is currently deployed.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The procurement framework at BAM Franchising is not described in the available FDD data. Item 8, which typically details whether the franchisor acts as a designated supplier, maintains an approved vendor list, or allows open purchasing, contains no extract. This lack of clarity means a vendor's first conversation will likely need to uncover the formal process. Regarding contract timing, the initial franchise term is 10 years. Item 17 outlines that renewals require written notice between 6 and 12 months before expiration, full compliance with the agreement, signing a general release, and paying a renewal fee. Critically, franchisees renewing may be asked to sign a contract with materially different terms, which could include updated technology requirements and create a window for new vendor adoption.

How to read the BAM Franchising FDD

The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is the foundational source for all data points discussed here. It was filed with state franchise regulators and provides the legal and operational blueprint for the franchise system. The embedded viewer below contains the full document. When reviewing it, pay close attention to Item 11 for any updates to the franchisor's obligations regarding technology, and Item 8 for any newly disclosed supplier relationships. For vendors building a ranked target list of franchise systems, understanding these documents at scale is essential—FranCloud can help you prioritize opportunities like this one.
