“I began working with Bumpers trimming the lawn at age 14, and have worked all positions. I’ve been a proud franchisee for the last 25 years. It’s our family business and it’s never, in its history, experienced a loss. Bumpers treats us like family.”
– Wayne D., Franchisee
“What stood out to me about Bumpers was the support and simplicity of the model. Not just another fast food model. The quality of the food is higher, the guest relations stronger and the brand has tremendous room to grow.”
– James B., Franchisee
