What's in that number — and what isn't
The $117,350 – $195,000 range is derived from RUBBISH TRUCK | RUBBISH WORKS's filed initial-investment disclosure (FDD Item 7 class): build-out, equipment, and opening costs as the franchisor stated them. Your market's real estate, labor, and build-out prices can land you outside it.
Not in the opening number: the ongoing royalty of 7% on sales, and your operating losses while the unit ramps. Every figure marked "Not disclosed" above is a gap in the filings, not a zero.

What about earnings?

Ask RUBBISH TRUCK | RUBBISH WORKS for its current FDD and read Item 19 yourself — and if there is no Item 19, that silence is information too.
