History
B-Bop's was created by Bob Johnson in 1988. The first B-Bop's was located at 1500 East Euclid, Des Moines, Iowa, as Johnson saw it as the ideal location to build a double drive-thru.[1] That location has now been demolished after Bob Johnson built a new B-Bops around the corner on East 14th St.[1] The chain began franchising in 1994.
Today, there are thirteen B-Bop's locations in Iowa, ten of which are in the Des Moines area, along with two in Ames and one in Cedar Rapids.[2][3]
