What happens if a Bumble Roofing Territory includes more than 100,000 single-family households?
Bumble_Roofing Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We will grant one license to a franchisee for up to 100,000 single-family households in a designated geographical area ("Territory"). We will use the most recent single-family household and demographic information available in the U.S. Census Data, or other statistical sources of our choosing to determine the single-family household count and resulting Territory. We have the right to change, modify, or delete the single-family household limits or any other demographic factors considered when granting Territories. If you are granted a Territory that include more than 100,000 single-family households, then you will be required to pay an additional fee, as disclosed more fully in Item 5, for each additional single-family household in your Territory above 100,000.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard territory granted to a franchisee includes up to 100,000 single-family households. The franchisor, Bumble Roofing, determines the territory size using U.S. Census Data or other statistical sources. However, Bumble Roofing retains the right to modify these limits when granting territories.
If a territory granted to a Bumble Roofing franchisee includes more than 100,000 single-family households, the franchisee is required to pay an additional fee for each household exceeding that limit. The specific amount of this additional fee is disclosed in Item 5 of the Franchise Disclosure Document.
This policy has significant financial implications for prospective franchisees. It means that the initial investment and ongoing costs can vary depending on the territory's demographics. A larger territory, while potentially offering a larger customer base, will also come with a higher initial fee. Therefore, it is crucial for potential Bumble Roofing franchisees to carefully review Item 5 of the FDD and understand the costs associated with territories of different sizes.
