What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 5 Bumper Man outlets operating in Pennsylvania at the start of 2023. The table in Item 20 provides a detailed overview of outlet activity across various states. This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it offers insights into the brand's presence and performance in specific regions.
The table tracks the number of outlets at the start of each year, the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year. For Pennsylvania, the data shows a consistent number of outlets, with 5 operating at the beginning and end of 2023, and no openings, terminations, or other changes during that year.
This stability in outlet numbers could indicate a mature market for Bumper Man in Pennsylvania, or it could reflect a lack of growth opportunities. A prospective franchisee should investigate further to understand the market dynamics and potential for expansion in the state. It's also worth noting that the FDD indicates projections for 2 new franchised outlets in Pennsylvania for the next fiscal year, which could signal future growth.
