The vendor opportunity at Junk Raider
Junk Raider Franchising is a home-services concept based in North Carolina with a single company-owned unit. The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document reports an AUV of $658,953.54 and no franchised locations. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is 1 unit — the corporate location. The royalty rate is 8.0% and the initial franchise term is 10 years. Year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. This is a very early-stage system; any software sale would be a direct pitch to the corporate entity rather than a multi-unit franchise network.
Who controls software purchasing
The FDD lists four executives in Item 1: Ted Bullard, Chief Executive Officer; Davis Fisher, COO; James Ritchie, Lead Field Manager; and Matt Hill, Lead Field Manager. With no franchisee base, all technology decisions are made by this HQ team. The CEO and COO are the most likely buyers for operational or back-office software. There is no CIO or CTO named in the filing, so the decision-making unit is compact and likely informal.
Mandated and current tech stack
Service Raider is the only mandated technology disclosed in the 2024 FDD. The system appears to use this platform for operational management. No POS, accounting, CRM, or other systems are named as required or recommended. Vendors offering complementary tools — such as scheduling, route optimization, or marketing automation — would need to demonstrate integration potential with Service Raider. The absence of other mandates suggests the tech stack is minimal and may be open to expansion.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD does not contain a procurement extract, so the franchisor’s approach to supplier designation is not disclosed. There is no information on whether Junk Raider uses a designated supplier model, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement process. Renewal terms are outlined in Item 17: franchisees must provide 180 days’ written notice, sign the then-current Franchise Agreement, execute a general release, pay a renewal fee, and have the owners personally guaranty the new agreement. The renewal term is 10 years. With no franchised units, these renewal windows are not currently actionable for vendors.
How to read the Junk Raider FDD
The 2024 FDD is the most current filing and contains the legal and financial disclosures required by the FTC Franchise Rule. Key items for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (mandated systems), and Item 17 (renewal conditions). The embedded viewer below provides the full document. Focus on the executive team for buyer identification and Item 11 for tech stack gaps. Because the system has only one unit, the FDD is more useful as a baseline for tracking future growth than as a near-term sales target.
