How Much Does It Cost To Open a JDog Franchise, and How Much Can I Make?

JDog Brands, the parent company of both JDog Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care, was founded by Veteran Jerry Flanagan with a mission of easing the transition to civilian life and decreasing unemployment levels among Veterans.

“When I was building the brand, my end goal was to create a business that would facilitate Veterans securing jobs,” Flanagan said. “What better way to do that than to establish Veteran-owned businesses nationwide that would be committed to hiring other Veterans?”

While the Veteran-centric culture among JDog brands is certainly welcoming to those who have previously served, the franchisor has also made a distinct effort to keep the barrier to entry low for new franchisees.

Initial investment costs

The initial investment required to begin operating a JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care business ranges from $37,909 to $169,947, and the initial investment to begin operating a JDog Junk Removal & Hauling business is between $30,000 and $110,000.

“As both industries continue to do well, JDog provides franchisees an opportunity to get into business without the high investments that are generally required,” Flanagan added. “Not only is now the time to get in business and take advantage of the demand, but we’ve made sure we’re accessible to hopeful business people who otherwise may not be able to afford the startup costs of other opportunities.”

This lower initial investment makes it easier for business owners to access the soaring home services industry which is expected to exceed $1219 billion by 2026. In tandem, these circumstances set franchisees up to secure a strong return on their investment even sooner.

Sales and growth trends

According to the brand’s 2021 FDD, some units saw as much as a 398% increase in monthly sales in 2021 compared to 2020.

Due to the niche the brand has carved out for itself, JDog Brands franchises have seen impressive, system-wide growth year over year, with a 16% increase in units and 51% increase in revenue since 2021 alone.

Now, with over 270 territories in business, the brand is eyeing continued expansion in markets across the country, starting with Cincinnati, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
