ith us.
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.
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, the Territory granted to a franchisee consists of up to 100,000 single-family households within a designated geographical area. Bumble Roofing determines this area using the most recent single-family household and demographic information available from the U.S. Census Data or other statistical sources of their choosing.
Bumble Roofing retains the right to modify the single-family household limits or any other demographic factors considered when granting Territories. If a franchisee is granted a Territory that includes more than 100,000 single-family households, they will be required to pay an additional fee for each additional household above that limit, as detailed in Item 5 of the FDD.
If a franchisee operates Bumble Roofing businesses in multiple contiguous Territories within the same market under separate Franchise Agreements, they may be permitted to sign Bumble Roofing's Aggregate Reporting addendum. This addendum addresses potential overlaps between the franchise agreements, allowing the franchisee to operate from a single location or submit one royalty report for all Franchised Businesses operating from that single location. This provides some flexibility for franchisees looking to expand their operations within a specific market.
