Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Junk King's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Junk King franchise cost?
Junk King's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $121K–$236K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee is not a single figure: $30,000 base for territory pop <=500,000, plus $0.06/person over 500,000; plus initial marketing fee of $10,000 (+$0.02/person over 500,000); up to $30,000 of franchise fee refundable if first-year gross revenue misses $125,000 (conditions apply)
What royalty does Junk King charge?
Junk King charges a continuing royalty of 8% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does Junk King disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. Junk King makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. That figure covers 1 outlets. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
How many Junk King locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), Junk King opened 22, closed 22, terminated 2 franchised outlets, ending the year with 342. Averaged over three years, 3.9% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
Does Junk King give a protected territory?
Junk King's FDD describes a protected territory in Item 12. Protection varies in what it actually excludes — franchisors commonly reserve online sales and alternative channels inside it — so the wording in the filing matters more than the yes.
