The typical territory will normally include an amount of single family dwelling units of 180,000- 240,000 and will be for a specific geographic area that we define by zip code. We use the United States Postal Service data updated on a monthly basis provided to us by Valassis (or another source that we deem reliable) to validate the number of single family dwelling units in each zip code. You may relocate the Franchised Business provided that you stay within your Territory. We would not normally approve the opening of additional outlets in your territory as the Franchised Business is offered at the customer’s location and there would be no business reason to open additional outlets within a territory.

The vendor opportunity at Dumpster Dudez

Dumpster Dudez operates 55 total locations — 54 franchised, 1 company-owned — with unit count up 74.2% year over year, a fast pace for a home-services franchise this size. That growth rate makes this a system worth pitching before it locks in incumbents at scale.

Who controls software purchasing

Item 2 names CEO and Managing Member Dustin Kiene, Chief Development Officer Brian Johnson, Chief Operating Officer Aaron Warchal, and Vice President of Franchise Development Willie Katinowsky. The operator base is almost entirely single-unit — 46 of 47 mapped operators, with only one running multiple sites — so purchasing authority sits with this HQ team.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

QuickBooks by Intuit is mandated: the FDD obliges franchisees to use it, making it the incumbent accounting system across the network. Grubhub and Valassis are also named in the filing, though appear without a purchase mandate — the FDD names them, which is not the same as requiring them.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list: franchisees must purchase from designated vendors, approved suppliers, or according to specifications, and may propose alternative suppliers for approval. Item 17 sets renewal conditions of a renewal fee, a signed general release, and written notice at least 180 days before expiration, with the then-current franchise agreement potentially carrying materially different terms.
