What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees and their principals must adhere to the Code of Conduct throughout the term of their agreement. This includes submitting to drug tests if permitted by applicable law, as requested by Bumper Man. This policy ensures that franchisees and their leadership maintain a standard of behavior deemed appropriate by the franchisor.
For a prospective Bumper Man franchisee, this means they, and potentially their operating principal, may be required to undergo drug testing. The specific details of the Code of Conduct are not outlined in this section, so it is important to understand what other behaviors and actions are expected under this code.
It is important for potential franchisees to inquire about the full scope of the Code of Conduct, including the specific types of drug tests, the frequency of testing, and the consequences of failing a drug test or violating any other aspect of the code. Understanding these requirements is crucial for assessing whether they align with the franchisee's personal values and business practices.
