CREATING A BETTER ATMOSPHERE

Sure B-Bop's is a drive-thru restaurant, but here you don't simply wait in line. At B-Bop's, you roll down your windows and enjoy the carefree music of an era gone by. The wait is never very long at B-Bop's, so you probably won't even get to hear more than a song or two. We have two drive-thru windows to serve you your food super fast. You'll be greeted by someone who looks like they just stepped out of "American Graffiti". This cheerful person will accept payment, which is always easy on your wallet, and send you on your way with your hot, fresh food.

 

B-BOP'S KEEPS GETTING BETTER

At B-Bop's we've found that our customers are loyal. We have families that come back nearly every week, bachelors that come back almost every night and others who crave the great taste of a B-Bop's meal constantly. We're sure that you'll become one too once you've tasted the B-Bop's difference.


 

WHAT KEEPS THEM COMING BACK?

Is it the quality of the food? Is it because we don't skimp on the condiments? Is it because they step back to a simpler time? Is it the value? Is it the atmosphere? Is it the big smile they get at the drive-up window? It's all of the above baby!

B-BOP'S HISTORY

One thing is certain; B-Bop's success is no accident. Bob Johnson did his homework and paid his dues prior to developing B-Bop's restaurants. In 1971, he began his career in the fast food industry with Mr. Quick in Illinois. He began as an assistant manager, a position he held for two years. Impressed with Johnson's ambition and skill, Corporate offered him the opportunity to become a Franchise Partner in the business. In 1973 Johnson accepted the offer, moved to Newton, Iowa, and opened a Mr. Quick. He later opened stores in Fairfield and Muscatine, Iowa. In 1983 Johnson and his partners changed the restaurant name from Mr. Quick to Sizzlin' Sams.

In 1986 Johnson became familiar with the double drive-thru concept. Double drive-thru's were popping up in the sunbelt states and their success impressed him. Johnson began researching the available data and developing his own complimentary ideas, knowing that one-day he would pursue the opportunity.

In 1988 Johnson noticed a building located at 1500 E Euclid in Des Moines, Iowa. His research and intuition told him that this was the ideal location to open a double drive-thru. Within six months the first B-Bop's was opened on that spot.

Today, there are B-Bop's locations concentrated in Central Iowa. However, Johnson isn’t willing to stay put. He is enthusiastic about helping others experience the success that he has enjoyed with the B-Bop's experience over the past 20 years.  Thus, he has made franchise opportunities available to experienced restaurateurs. "We have the formula for success and we have fiercely loyal customers. This is a combination that will work anywhere...with the right people", says Bob Johnson.
