About DoodyCalls
DoodyCalls provides dog waste clean up services to residents and
communities of all sizes. Our friendly and professional pet waste
technicians are always there to pick up where your dog left off, leaving
you with a clean and safe outdoor space, and more time to enjoy it.
Look around at the growing number of pet care businesses, and you'll realize a new industry is being born. Why? Well 40% of all American households have a pet, and cat and dog populations are growing. At the same time, Americans have less and less time to spend taking care of their pet. They'd rather play with their dog and let someone else clean up. That's where DoodyCalls comes in.
Building Success from the ground up.
From the very beginning it was clear there was strong demand for a pet waste removal service. But only a professional, branded company with clear guidelines and standards was able to meet the demand. With trained, uniformed, and courteous staff, plus efficient and effective marketing, DoodyCalls was able to build its client base to become profitable quickly. DoodyCalls also pioneered a strategy to develop commercial and residential accounts together, a key to our success.
Answering the call of Doody.
Answer the call of opportunity--with DoodyCalls. DoodyCalls offers franchisees a roadmap with a tried and true pet care brand. A low initial investment in equipment allows franchise owners to invest additional capital in building a client base and growing their business. Franchisees also have the flexibility to start their businesses on a part-time or full-time basis. As a DoodyCalls franchise owner, you won't be on your own: we provide the training, marketing materials, call center, and ongoing support to quickly establish your thriving business.
About Junkluggers
Junkluggers offers full service eco-friendly junk removal for homes and businesses including offices, retail locations, construction sites, and more. Since 2004, we have been providing our clients with a full line of reliable services and we have continued to grow, serving a larger market with new trucks and additional well-trained crews from our corporate headquarters in New York City.
Our services afford our clients peace of mind as each of them can rest assured that we will do a professional job loading and removing junk, furniture and other large items. We offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional junk haulers by donating usable items to local charities and recycling centers.
Launching our franchising process in 2012 has been part of a 2-year plan to develop new territories with franchised business locations. We are fully prepared to offer you, as a franchisee, all the support, systems and a proven brand that you undoubtedly expect when you choose to go into business for yourself but not by yourself.
We are now expanding beyond our New York tri-state area with a focus on developing and partnering with franchise owners in new Junkluggers business areas across the US.
As of early 2013, we have immediate availability for some New York, Connecticut and New Jersey markets in established territories and are offering these at no additional fee.
Of course, the business model is supported anywhere people live or work, wherever there is “junk” that people need removed from their homes or businesses. Additionally, we offer customers the ease of scheduling via phone or our web-based online booking form. Since we have this streamlined booking system, we can support our franchise system with our call center where we manage every single booking, customer concerns and follow up questions about the status of donations.
With proven systems for finding, supporting, and impressing our customers, we at the Junkluggers have much to offer potential franchisees. If you are interested, just click the link below to start the franchise inquiry process.
We look forward to hearing from you and will be following up with you to discuss your interest in starting a new Junkluggers business!
