JDOG JUNK REMOVAL & HAULING Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2024), JDOG JUNK REMOVAL & HAULING reported 123 franchised outlets at year end. 83 of 192 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 43.2%— while 14 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -29.3% over 2022–2024.
| Status (FTC) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 143 | 174 | 192 |
| Opened | 88 | 53 | 14 |
| Transfers | 12 | 14 | 5 |
| Terminations | 57 | 35 | 83 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 174 | 192 | 123 |
| Net change | +31 | +18 | -69 |
83 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 83 exits ÷ 192 at start = 43.2%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (5) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
