Junk Raider provides comprehensive training programs to ensure franchisees are well-equipped to operate their businesses effectively. The training is mandatory and includes several phases, tailored for both the franchisee and their managerial staff. Here are the key training programs provided:
Junk Raider does not provide exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. While franchisees are assigned an “Operating Territory,” the agreement explicitly states that this territory is non-exclusive. Franchisees may face competition from other Junk Raider outlets, including those owned by the franchisor or other franchisees, even within the same territory.
However, franchisees are still expected to operate solely within their designated Operating Territory and are restricted from soliciting customers outside of it. They may only serve customers in adjacent “Open Areas” under specific conditions, and this permission can be revoked by the franchisor at any time.
