What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 55 franchised outlets opened in 2024. The number of company-owned outlets remained constant, with zero new company-owned locations opening during that year. This resulted in a total of 55 new Bumble Roofing outlets in 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a significant expansion of the Bumble Roofing franchise system during 2024. The growth was exclusively through franchised locations, suggesting that Bumble Roofing is focusing on expanding its brand through franchising rather than company-owned stores. This may mean more support and resources are directed towards franchisees.
However, it's important to note that while 55 new franchised outlets opened, the table does not specify how many outlets may have closed or otherwise ceased operations during the same period. The net change in franchised outlets was +55, meaning the number of openings exceeded closures by that amount. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons for any closures to understand the overall health and stability of the franchise system.
Furthermore, the FDD states that the fiscal year ends on September 30, so the data for 2024 covers the period from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. This is a detail to keep in mind when comparing this data to calendar-year information or other franchise systems with different fiscal year-ends.
