Detailed Information on Junk King’s Initial Franchise Fee, Royalty Fee + 20 Other Fees (Items 5 and 6, 2022 FDD)

1.  Initial Franchise Fee:  $54,000 to $78,000

  • You must pay Junk King an initial franchise fee (the “Initial Franchise Fee”) upon executing your Franchise Agreement.

  • The Initial Franchise Fee is $0.12 (twelve cents) for each person living in your Territory. As a Territory will contain between 450,000 and 650,000 people, the Initial Franchise Fee will range between $54,000 and $78,000.

2.  Option Fee:  $10,000

  • If you sign an Option Agreement, you must pay an option fee equal to $10,000 (the “Option Fee”). When you exercise the option, you must pay Junk King its then-current Initial Franchise Fee minus the Option Fee paid.
