What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Bumper Man outlet operating in Washington at the start of 2022. Throughout 2022, no additional outlets were opened, reacquired, transferred, or closed, so the year concluded with one outlet in operation.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing scale of Bumper Man's operations within Washington. A single outlet suggests a limited brand presence and market penetration in the state as of 2022.
It is important to note that the presence of only one outlet does not inherently indicate success or failure. Further investigation would be needed to understand the performance of the existing Bumper Man location and the potential for growth within the Washington market. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the performance history of the Washington location and the franchisor's plans for future development in the state.
