What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, Jan-Pro Enterprises, LLC (JPE) is a sister company to Bumble Roofing under the umbrella of Empower Brands. Empower Brands is the parent company to several franchisors, including Bumble Roofing and JPE. This means that both Bumble Roofing and JPE are owned and controlled by Empower Brands.
JPE sells and supports JAN-PRO Franchise Development country master franchises and regional franchise development franchises that sell franchises and provide support services under the JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting brand for the operation of janitorial and building maintenance service franchises outside of the United States. JPE has not conducted a business of the type that a Bumble Roofing franchisee will operate, and has not offered franchises in any other line of business.
Empower Brands' ownership of both Bumble Roofing and JPE suggests potential synergies or shared resources at the corporate level, but the FDD indicates that JPE's franchising activities are distinct and do not directly overlap with Bumble Roofing's roofing service business. A prospective franchisee should be aware of Empower Brands' broader portfolio of franchise systems, as this could influence the overall strategic direction and resource allocation within the Bumble Roofing franchise system.
