JDog Brands Experiences Tremendous Growth in 2022, Expanding to New Markets, Launching a Podcast and Opening a New Franchisee Training Center

JDog Brands, the parent company of JDog Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care, was founded to provide business opportunities to Veterans and their families. This year, the brand has added to its nearly 300 franchise territories, making JDog Brands the world’s largest Veteran franchise system. JDog Brands has expanded into Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Cleveland, Ohio; San Antonio, Texas; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Plymouth, Massachusetts; Orlando, Florida; El Paso, Texas; and more.

The home services industry in the U.S. is worth $500 billion and growing, and the demand driving this value is crystal clear. JDog Brands is positioned to handle this demand as the franchise system works to grow to over 600 units, adding thousands of Veterans to the workforce. 

As the franchise continues to develop new markets and expand Veteran families’ business opportunities, it is also constantly improving its internal processes, working to share additional knowledge and engaging with its communities.

Earlier this year, JDog Brands established a new training center to provide elevated education to its new franchisees. The center contains various types of flooring and other surfaces for hands-on learning right in the classroom. It is equipped with the necessary technology for live-stream lessons, allowing JDog franchisees to learn from anywhere and engage in continuing professional development.

Throughout the growth process, community involvement has remained a priority for the brand. In February, JDog Brands launched its very own podcast, Tactical Treasures, created and hosted by Tracy Flanagan, co-founder and senior vice president of JDog Brands. The podcast welcomes Veterans to discuss how they continue to serve their communities post-service and has already featured notable guests such as Carol Eggert, Brigadier General, U.S. Army and Vice President of Military and Veteran Affairs at NBC Comcast, and Jason Johnson, U.S. Army Veteran and founder of Project K-9 Hero.

Further, JDog Brands franchisees have stepped up to support their own communities.  Lillie Williams, a JDog Junk Removal & Hauling franchisee in Columbus, Ohio, spearheaded a diaper drive to help single mothers in her community. 

The franchisor has also joined the RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) movement and announced a national partnership with Soldiers’ Angels, a nonprofit that works to provide comfort and resources to military service members, Veterans and their families.

Looking ahead, the multi-brand franchisor is planning to leverage its current momentum to welcome additional franchisees to the network through 2022 while continuing to provide external community support and involvement to help Veterans and their families flourish. 

The total investment necessary to operate a JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care ranges from $37,909 to $169,947, including a $10,000-$25,000 franchise fee. The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a JDog Junk Removal & Hauling ranges from $30,000 to $110,000, including a $35,000 franchise fee.  For more information on franchising with JDog, visit https://www.jdogbrands.com/own-a-franchise.
