After termination or expiration of a Bumble Roofing franchise, what geographic areas are covered by the non-competition covenant?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after the franchise is terminated or expires, franchisees are subject to a non-competition covenant. This covenant restricts involvement in any Competitive Business for a period of 2 years. A Competitive Business is defined as any business offering and selling roofing installation, maintenance, and repairs, and related products and services, for residential and commercial customers.

The geographic scope of this non-competition covenant includes (i) the franchisee's Territory or any other Bumble Roofing Franchisee's Territory, (ii) within 10 miles of the Territory or any other Franchisee's Territory, or (iii) within 10 miles of any Bumble Roofing or its affiliate owned Roofing Business.

This means that a former Bumble Roofing franchisee is restricted from operating a competing roofing business within their original territory, any other franchisee's territory, or near any company-owned Bumble Roofing location. The restriction extends to a 10-mile radius around these areas. This measure aims to protect Bumble Roofing's market share and the interests of its existing franchisees by preventing former franchisees from leveraging confidential information or business practices gained during their franchise term to unfairly compete with the system.
