Therefore, a prospective franchisee in Texas should consider both franchised and company-owned store counts when assessing market saturation and brand presence in the state. They should also inquire about the reasons for terminations or re acquisitions of franchises to better understand the dynamics of the Bumper Man franchise system in Texas.
