Two recession resistant businesses: - Throw away or donate the stuff they don't want (Junk Removal), and - Move the stuff they do want (Moving). Our Franchise owners also sell “Labor” as a 3rd revenue source. An example of “labor” would be someone getting new flooring. We move items from one end of the house to another as the floor is being done. Another revenue source is move supplies. We had a location sell over $30,000 in move supplies in a single month. College Hunks Hauling Junk is the fastest-growing junk-hauling franchise and moving franchise in America. The company was started in 2005 by Omar Soliman and Nick Friedman, and it began franchising in 2008. Omar and Nick have been named two of the top young entrepreneurs in America by “Inc.” magazine. They literally wrote the best-selling book on entrepreneurship, co-authoring “Effortless Entrepreneur” to share the lessons, planning and strategies that have made College Hunks Hauling Junk an overwhelming success. College Hunks Hauling Junk has been named one the fastest growing companies in America by “Inc.” and has made “Entrepreneur” magazine’s list of top franchise opportunities for five years in a row and counting. College Hunks Hauling Junk also has impressive brand recognition. The franchise has been featured on the 2022 Season Premier of Undercover Boss as well as The Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC’s Shark Tank, HGTV’s House Hunters, AMC’s The Pitch, Bravo’s The Millionaire Matchmaker, TLC’s Hoarding: Buried Alive and Fox Business, as well as in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, Time magazine, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Inc. and more. College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving has been in demand — from franchisees, customers and the media — because our business is fun and rewarding, and our systems create a great experience for our customers and our franchise partners. Chief among those systems is our national call center, which books and schedules jobs for our franchisees seven days a week — a service that saves franchisees money and time. The call center also makes the business easier to manage. That’s important, because there is tremendous demand. **Why the Junk removal and Moving industries?** - Low-cost franchise - Ridiculous growth potential - Automation-Resistant - Amazon-Resistant - Recession-Resistant - Pandemic Resistant When the economy is great, people move to larger homes. When the economy is bad, people move to smaller homes they can afford and get rid of things they no longer need. The average American moves 11.5 times during their lifetime!

Who it fits

Ideal candidate

Most of our franchise owners do not have prior experience in the junk removal or moving business. The majority of them are either coming from corporate America as managers, marketing or sales or are prior military. Individuals who have owned other businesses tend to do exceptionally well with our franchise model as well. We have doctors, accountants, pharmacists who own College Hunks franchises.We are looking for “A-Players” to maximize the opportunity who are looking to do more than simply buy themselves a job. Our best owners are coachable, have a positive, “can-do” attitude, love working with 18-25 year olds, who embrace our core values and our world-class culture.The numbers in the FDD are really impressive but most people buy our franchise because of our world-class culture, which is built on our 4 core values (building leaders, creating a fun, enthusiastic, team environment, always branding and listen, fulfill, delight).The College Hunks A-Player: Has been successful in their career to this point Demonstrates Leadership ability Aligns culturally and values the company’s focus on the highest quality service and its core values. Is coachable Is likeable Is resourceful Is tenacious, driven and has gritIn short, we are looking for “A-Players” with a positive, “can do” attitude, a risk taker that will take our advice and put it into action.
