Bumpers Drive-In
Franchise Overview
This quick-service restaurant concept brings the nostalgic atmosphere of 1950s and 1960s drive-in dining to modern consumers through three distinct franchise models: a traditional drive-in with carhop service, a freestanding indoor dining location with drive-thru, and a dine/drive-thru retail end cap model. The menu features cooked-to-order burgers, fresh-cut hand-battered onion rings, chicken tenders, chili cheese dogs, Philly and hoagie sandwiches, and other regional favorites not commonly found at national fast food chains. Franchisees and operating partners pay an initial franchise fee of $30,000 and a monthly royalty of 4% of gross sales.
The brand supports its network with operational assistance and training. The traditional drive-in model is currently limited to operating partners managing five to seven locations within a close geographic area, while the indoor dining model has proven successful along busy highway corridors. Locations are currently concentrated in Mississippi and Tennessee.
