in the designated geographical location ("Household Limit"). If you are granted a Territory in excess of the Household Limit, then you will need to pay us an Additional Household Fee, which equals $0.25 per single-family household in the Territory in excess of 100,000 single-family households. We will use the most recent population information available in the U.S. Census Data, or other statistical sources of our choosing to determine single-family household counts and densities.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be required to pay an Additional Household Fee under specific circumstances related to the size of their territory. Bumble Roofing grants franchisees a territory based on factors such as single-family household density, home values, and average income. The standard territory size is capped at 100,000 single-family households, referred to as the "Household Limit."
If Bumble Roofing grants a franchisee a territory that exceeds this 100,000 household limit, the franchisee will be required to pay an Additional Household Fee. This fee is calculated as $0.25 per single-family household in the territory that exceeds the 100,000 household limit. For example, if a territory contains 120,000 single-family households, the franchisee would pay an additional fee for the 20,000 households exceeding the limit. This fee structure ensures that Bumble Roofing is compensated for the increased market potential afforded to franchisees with larger territories.
Bumble Roofing retains the right to determine territory boundaries and may modify or delete the Household Limit at its discretion. The FDD states that Bumble Roofing will use U.S. Census Data or other statistical sources to determine single-family household counts and densities. Even if the number of single-family households in a franchisee's territory increases or decreases over time, the franchisee maintains rights to the original territory.
