FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A JUNKCO+ franchise requires a total initial investment of $228K – $338K, including a $55K – $65K franchise fee and an ongoing 5.0% royalty[2]. The 2026 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. FranchiseVerdict grade: B (Above average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2024. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

How Junkco+ Compares
Category median of published Business Services brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Risk analysis
FranchiseVerdict rating + FDD Items 3, 4, 8, 16, 21
Risk & Legal
Early-stage junk removal franchise with 20 units, material lack of net income disclosure, and escalating royalties creates significant profitability uncertainty and franchisor sustainability risk.

Score breakdown · what drove the 63 / 100 verdict
- 01MINOROnly 20 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — indicates either early-stage concept or stalled expansion; insufficient scale for franchisor support infrastructure
- 02MEDEscalating royalty structure (4% to 5-8%) creates margin compression over time; combined with undisclosed net income, franchisees cannot model cash flow accurately
- 03MINORHigh franchise fee ($55K) relative to small unit count suggests franchisor may be fee-dependent rather than system-growth focused
- 04MINORProtected territory provided but no detail on territory size, density, or exclusivity enforcement mechanisms

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a JUNKCO+ franchise?
The total investment to open a JUNKCO+ franchise ranges from $228K – $338K, with an initial franchise fee of $55K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do JUNKCO+ franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the JUNKCO+ FDD discloses outlet figures from $816K to $816K but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns JUNKCO+?
JUNKCO+ is franchised by Junkco+ International, LLC. Its parent company is BELFOR Franchise Group, LLC. The ultimate parent named in the FDD is BELFOR Holdings, Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2026 filing.
What is Item 19 in the JUNKCO+ FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the JUNKCO+ FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is JUNKCO+'s franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for JUNKCO+ (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many JUNKCO+ franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, JUNKCO+ has 20 total units in the United States, including 20 franchised units and 0 company-owned units. 20 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is JUNKCO+ a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates JUNKCO+ as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 63 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
