What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2022, there were a total of 129 outlets. This number is derived from a system-wide outlet summary that tracks the number of outlets at the start of the year, 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 a prospective franchisee, this indicates the size and growth of the Bumper Man franchise system. It shows the net change in the number of outlets over the year, reflecting both new openings and closures. A higher number of total outlets typically suggests a more established brand with greater market presence.
It's important to note that while the total number of outlets provides an overview, it doesn't reveal the performance or saturation of individual markets. Further due diligence, such as speaking with existing franchisees and analyzing market-specific data, would be essential to assess the viability of a Bumper Man franchise in a particular location.
