Bumble_Roofing Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We offer a Franchise to those who meet our then-current standards and qualifications, in our determination. As a Franchise operator you may operate one Roofing Business for each Franchise Agreement you sign with us.
If you operate Roofing Businesses in multiple contiguous Territories in the same market under separate Franchise Agreements, then you will be permitted sign our then-current Aggregate Reporting addendum (currently attached as an exhibit to the Franchise Agreement), which addresses certain overlap under the separate franchise agreements, such as being able to operate the Franchised Business from a single location or submitting one royalty report for all of your Franchised Businesses that operate from a single business location.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may operate one Bumble Roofing business for each Franchise Agreement they sign with the company. This means that to operate multiple locations, a franchisee must enter into a separate Franchise Agreement for each location.
This requirement is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as each franchise agreement typically outlines the specific terms, territory, and obligations for a single business unit. By requiring a separate agreement for each location, Bumble Roofing maintains control over its brand and ensures that each franchise operates according to its standards.
However, Bumble Roofing does offer some flexibility for franchisees who operate multiple locations within contiguous territories. These franchisees can sign an Aggregate Reporting addendum, which allows them to operate the franchised businesses from a single location and submit one royalty report for all businesses operating from that location. This can simplify administrative tasks and potentially reduce operating costs for multi-unit franchisees.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the implications of this policy, particularly if they plan to expand their operations in the future. While the Aggregate Reporting addendum offers some convenience, franchisees will still need to meet the initial investment and ongoing royalty obligations for each separate Franchise Agreement.
