JDog Junk Removal Hauls Into Houston with Aggressive Growth Plans
U.S. Military Brand Seeks Franchise Owners to 'Clean Up' in Market with 10 New Locations

HOUSTON – JDog Junk Removal & Hauling (JDog), a national franchise organization dedicated to providing business ownership opportunities to veterans and relatives of veterans, announced today plans to enter the Houston area. The brand is actively seeking franchise owners to open up to 10 locations over the next four years, which will create more than 50 jobs for local veterans.
Strategic development in Houston is a key element in the brand’s overall growth plan as it works toward its goal to open 75 new franchises by the end of the year. This announcement comes on the heels of a successful 2016, which debuted the brand in 20 new states, including Oklahoma, New York, Indiana, Rhode Island, Ohio, Virginia, and Georgia – increasing the total number of franchise locations from 33 to 74. The Houston market is ripe for development and has ideal demographics, making it the ultimate development market for JDog.
“JDog’s franchise system is made up of a tightly-knit community of owners who joined our brand because they see how passionate we are about providing business ownership and employment opportunities to veterans,” said Jerry Flanagan, CEO and founder of JDog. “We are searching for people in the Houston area who are looking to provide the same level of service to their community while putting veterans to work.”

JDog franchisees operate easily recognizable, camouflage vehicles and trailers, and recycles or repurposes a substantial amount of the collected material. The Philadelphia-based company works closely with local and national organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, and local schools, churches and hospitals to donate useful items to those in need. We should add in a line about the total initial investment here.
In addition to offering business ownership opportunities to veterans, JDog has established an important partnership with the VA’s therapeutic Veterans’ employment program, Compensated Work Therapy (CWT), to provide additional work opportunities for veterans. The brand was also selected as a Veteran-Owned Small Business by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
