What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bumble Roofing reserves the right to modify a franchisee's territory when the franchisee executes a Successor Franchise Agreement. This modification is at Bumble Roofing's discretion and aims to align the territory size with the company's current standards for new franchisees.
Several factors can trigger a territory modification. These include changes in population or the number of qualified households within the original territory. Bumble Roofing might also implement different standards or calculations for determining the size of protected territories granted to new franchisees.
Furthermore, if the franchisee's original territory encompasses more than one protected territory under Bumble Roofing's current standards, the company may require the franchisee to execute multiple Successor Franchise Agreements to continue operating within the entire original territory. This condition ensures that the territory aligns with Bumble Roofing's current franchising model upon renewal.
