You may not relocate your Territory or establish additional Roofing Businesses without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion. Such requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, including consideration of whether you are currently in compliance with your Franchise Agreement, territory availability, and other fact-specific considerations.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee cannot establish additional Roofing Businesses without prior written consent from Bumble Roofing. This consent can be withheld at Bumble Roofing's sole discretion. Any request to establish additional businesses will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Bumble Roofing will consider factors such as the franchisee's compliance with the existing Franchise Agreement and territory availability when evaluating a franchisee's request to open additional locations. This means that if a franchisee is not in good standing with Bumble Roofing or if there are no available territories, the request is less likely to be approved.
This policy is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors typically want to control the growth and distribution of their brand. Bumble Roofing's approach allows them to manage market saturation and ensure that existing franchisees are performing well before expanding their operations. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these restrictions and discuss their long-term growth plans with Bumble Roofing during the due diligence process.
