## Story

When Rob Reichardt retired from the Navy, he did not have concrete plans. After some time in the corporate space, Reichardt began to feel that he would prefer to be in the field, working for himself. Now, as a JDog Junk Removal & Hauling owner, Reichardt says he is back to working with people whose values align with his, and he treasures the impact he can make on a daily basis.

“I love how much we can directly impact the community that we live in,” he said. “Everybody wants to do something great in the world, but nobody ever has an avenue for that. JDog has given me an avenue to do something great for the community, whether that’s giving back through recycling and repurposing, we’ve built beds for kids, and not everybody has a 16 cubic yard trailer that they can just let a nonprofit use on a Saturday.”

*The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a JDog Junk Removal & Hauling ranges from $30,000 to $110,000, including a $35,000 franchise fee. For more information on franchising with JDog, visit* *
