Although it might not be a conscious effort, you probably deal with some sort of franchise business every day. Fast food eateries are a prime example they are also the top franchise business industry in the country with McDonalds franchises leading the pack. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are upwards of 900,000 franchise businesses in over 300 categories operating in America. That group of businesses provides 18 million jobs and injects around $2.1 trillion into our economy. Check your watch. Every eight minutes a new franchise business opens. That could mean a new Junk King franchise might be heading your way and that's good news for the local homeowners and businesses owners as well as the environment.
