Vicens served in the Navy for 20 years as a submariner. Shortly before retirement, Vicens began searching for positions in the civilian world; that’s how he found&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/jdogbrands">JDog</a>.“At the beginning of last year, I started looking into paths to follow after retiring, but I wasn’t hearing back from jobs, so I began applying for entry-level positions,” he said. “My wife’s cousin posted a job in Jacksonville for JDog. I applied, and when he saw my application, he told me to instead just buy a JDog. That same day I began looking into franchising with JDog Brands.”Just four hours after learning of JDog, Vicens began the due diligence process, learning more on the website and reaching out to the corporate team via phone. Because he had owned businesses in the past, Vicens says he has the necessary experience. However, the support of a franchisor just makes the process run a bit more smoothly.“I had owned businesses in the past, so I have ownership experience, but it’s completely different when you franchise. You get more support and a great framework to start with,” he said.Now, Vicens is one of the primary full-service junk removal businesses in his area, and he can give back to other Veterans due to his proximity to the Navy submarine base.“A lot of my customers will say that they hired my team and me because I’m a Veteran,” he explained. “I never considered that a Veteran-owned concept existed, but it loved the brand and its standards. Personally, I would choose a business owned by a Veteran for everything if I could.”Vicens continues to connect with others in the area through his business — beyond just the Veteran community.“I make it a priority to give back to the community. 10% of any income that my JDog brings in is donated to different charities and causes throughout the community,” he added.&nbsp;Vicens also recently conducted a 5k race, with all proceeds going to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jdogfoundation.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=navy-veteran-brings-jdog-junk-removal-hauling-to-southeast-georgia-2720225" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JDog Foundation</a>, which supports programs and services to support Veterans through things like Suicide Prevention and PTSD Management, State and Local Government Programs, and Civilian Therapies.The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a JDog Junk Removal &amp; Hauling ranges from $30,000 to $110,000, including a $35,000 franchise fee.&nbsp; For more information on franchising with JDog, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jdogbrands.com/own-a-franchise.?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=navy-veteran-brings-jdog-junk-removal-hauling-to-southeast-georgia-2720225" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.jdogbrands.com/own-a-franchise</a>.
