What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to attend annual conferences. These mandatory annual conferences are held either at Bumble Roofing's headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, or at another location chosen by the company.
As a Bumble Roofing franchisee, you are responsible for covering the conference fee, which Bumble Roofing may collect monthly or through another method. Additionally, you must pay for all personal travel and living expenses associated with attending the conference.
The conferences serve several purposes, including informing franchisees of mandatory specifications, standards, and procedures for operating their roofing business. They also cover research into new products, services, and methods, and provide franchisees with information on these developments. This ensures that all franchisees stay updated on the latest industry practices and maintain consistent standards across all Bumble Roofing locations.
