What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Item 11 and Exhibit C provide information regarding pre-opening requirements for a 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise. Item 11 references various aspects of the franchise agreement and operations manual, while Exhibit C presents the table of contents for the 2024 Operations Manual.
Specifically, Item 11 refers to section 2.5 regarding opening procedures. The table of contents of the 2024 Operations Manual, included as Exhibit C, lists chapters relevant to franchise operations, such as 'Franchise Operations,' 'Daily Operations,' and 'Policies and Procedures.' These sections likely contain details on pre-opening tasks, standards, and operational guidelines.
However, the FDD states that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? does not provide assistance in selecting or securing your Franchised Location; with conforming your Franchised Location to local ordinances and building codes; with obtaining any required permits; with constructing, remodeling, or decorating the Franchised Location; or hiring and training your employees.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 11 and the Operations Manual (Exhibit C) for detailed information on pre-opening requirements and operational procedures. Additionally, they should be prepared to handle site selection, compliance, permitting, construction, and staffing independently, as 1-800-GOT-JUNK? does not offer assistance in these areas.
