About College Hunks Hauling Junk

At COLLEGE HUNKS, we don't hire employees, we empower the future leaders of society. That's why HUNKS stands for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Students. Overview College Hunks Hauling Junk and College Hunks Moving is a franchise opportunity unlike any other. It's an established, award-winning business with incredibly rapid growth. The reason for our growth is simple: we focus on the people we serve rather than just the function we perform. We build trust through our clean-cut, considerate and stress-free approach to an otherwise "junk" and stress-filled industry. Along with junk removal and full service local moving, we also offer labor services, storage solutions, donation pickups, real estate and property management assistance and more. As a full-service, one-stop shop for all moving and junk removal needs, our synergistic approach allows greater cross-selling and bundling, to create a 100% stress-free experience for all of our clients and greater revenue opportunities for all of our franchise partners. As a B2C and a B2B service company, we operate on the front-lines of customer relations by actually performing our service within the clients' homes, apartments/condos and properties. As a result, we must be incredibly sensitive to the unique circumstances of each individual client. When a client gets evicted, is in the midst of a divorce, or is suffering the recent loss of a loved one, they need to have their belongings moved or removed in a stress-free manner. We provide that. We also service B2B customers. Our B2C is about 80% of our business and our B2B is about 20% of our business. We also provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing those possessions will be given a second life or recycled in the most environmentally way possible, as we do with 70% of everything we haul. Our organization uses four core values to guide decision making, culture and growth:
 1. Building Leaders
 2. Always Branding 
 3. Create a Fun, Enthusiastic Environment

 4. Listen, Fulfill and Delight
Since each franchise only needs three to five employees to begin operations, the actual time frame from purchasing to operating a franchise is minimal.
Plus, when you operate under the College Hunks brand name, you can rest assured that you are helping the environment, benefiting the community, molding our nation's youth into future leaders, and doing "the right thing."

About Junkluggers

Junkluggers offers full service eco-friendly junk removal for homes and businesses including offices, retail locations, construction sites, and more. Since 2004, we have been providing our clients with a full line of reliable services and we have continued to grow, serving a larger market with new trucks and additional well-trained crews from our corporate headquarters in New York City. Our services afford our clients peace of mind as each of them can rest assured that we will do a professional job loading and removing junk, furniture and other large items. We offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional junk haulers by donating usable items to local charities and recycling centers. Launching our franchising process in 2012 has been part of a 2-year plan to develop new territories with franchised business locations. We are fully prepared to offer you, as a franchisee, all the support, systems and a proven brand that you undoubtedly expect when you choose to go into business for yourself but not by yourself. We are now expanding beyond our New York tri-state area with a focus on developing and partnering with franchise owners in new Junkluggers business areas across the US.
As of early 2013, we have immediate availability for some New York, Connecticut and New Jersey markets in established territories and are offering these at no additional fee. Of course, the business model is supported anywhere people live or work, wherever there is “junk” that people need removed from their homes or businesses. Additionally, we offer customers the ease of scheduling via phone or our web-based online booking form. Since we have this streamlined booking system, we can support our franchise system with our call center where we manage every single booking, customer concerns and follow up questions about the status of donations. With proven systems for finding, supporting, and impressing our customers, we at the Junkluggers have much to offer potential franchisees.

We look forward to hearing from you and will be following up with you to discuss your interest in starting a new Junkluggers business!
