Who owns 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
1-800-GOT-JUNK? is a franchise system owned by O2E Brands. The Jacksonville location is a franchise. Third-party summaries of the franchise disclosure document list an 8 percent royalty on gross revenue, an 8 percent sales, marketing and technology fee, and a branding co-op of up to 5 percent. Those fees are paid by the local operator to the franchisor out of every job.
To be fair: the national brands are established operators with big trucks and plenty of satisfied customers. If you have used one and were happy, nothing here says otherwise. The difference is structure, and structure shows up in the price and in who you deal with.
