Besides what is provided in the agreement, is a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisee permitted to solicit orders within the territory?

According to the 2025 FDD, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisees are permitted to solicit orders from people or entities with property in their designated territory. However, the junk removal services must be performed at locations within that territory. This means a franchisee can market to and receive orders from individuals or businesses within their territory, but they cannot provide the actual junk removal service outside of it.

This condition ensures that each 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisee operates primarily within their assigned area, maintaining territorial exclusivity. It prevents franchisees from encroaching on other territories by soliciting business outside their own and then providing services within another franchisee's territory. This helps to protect each franchisee's customer base and revenue potential.

For a prospective 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisee, this means focusing marketing and sales efforts within the defined territory. While they can accept orders from customers who reside outside the territory, the actual service delivery must occur within the franchisee's designated area. Understanding the territorial boundaries and adhering to these rules is crucial for maintaining a good relationship with the franchisor and fellow franchisees, as well as for ensuring the long-term success of the franchise.
