What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must operate their business exclusively from a Franchised Location within their designated Territory. The Franchised Location must comply with any applicable lease, the Franchise Agreement, and the Operations Manual. The franchisee is responsible for selecting and securing this location, as 1-800-GOT-JUNK? does not provide assistance or approve the location.
The franchisee has the option to relocate the Franchised Location, but must provide prior written notice to 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and bear all associated costs. This requirement ensures that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisees maintain a physical presence within their territory and adhere to the brand's operational standards.
It is important to note that while franchisees must operate from an approved location, they are prohibited from soliciting customers or providing services to premises outside of their Territory. This restriction applies to all distribution channels, including the internet, telemarketing, and other direct marketing methods. This territorial restriction helps to protect the market area of other franchisees and maintain a clear division of service areas within the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? system.
