(Restaurant News Release) They took the plunge on faith. One year ago, FOURTH QUARTER, LLC researched the brand history, its leadership, and the 40+ years of success of a southern QSR brand, BUMPERS. They said YES to become franchisees. “It has been an amazing year of learning, growing, and joyfully serving Madison, MS and neighboring communities of this iconic Mississippi brand,” says the couple.
When Darren and Kathy packed up and moved from Dallas to Mississippi, they took a chance, but the commitment and grit paid off as they now celebrate year ONE of profitability with sights on adding another store to their portfolio. They also celebrate their store holding title of #1 QSR in the Madison/Gluckstadt area for 2025!
BUMPERS founder, Doc Sethi, believes in giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to own and succeed in their first business and after developing his own 35 corporate stores feels it’s time to ‘give back’ and watch others build their own family legacies. “We welcome others into our Bumpers family and trust that they will also get to experience this understated gem that we’ve grown to love so dearly,“ says Doc.
If you are in the area, (Madison/Gluckstadt, MS), please stop by for a meal to celebrate the anniversary with a beverage on us!
