Values & History
Founded in 2004, the brand is built on the core values of being Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, and Service-oriented. These values - the H.U.N.K.S. standard - define their culture, which emphasizes hiring competitive, high-energy individuals who provide a top-tier customer experience. Beyond business operations, the company maintains a strong commitment to community, having donated millions of meals through partnerships like U.S. Hunger, and prioritizes sustainability by diverting up to 70% of hauled items from landfills through donation and recycling efforts.
Industry Performance
The moving and junk removal industry is a multi-billion dollar, demand-resilient sector driven by essential household life events such as relocations, downsizing, estate cleanouts, and renovations. Because these transitions occur regardless of economic cycles, and can even increase during downturns due to foreclosures or corporate restructuring, the industry offers consistent, year-round demand. Currently, the market is highly fragmented and largely dominated by small, local, single-service operators who often lack professional branding, advanced CRM technology, and national lead-generation engines, creating significant opportunity for organized, tech-enabled national brands.
Training & Support
Franchisees benefit from a comprehensive, structured playbook that guides them from signing to scaling. The support system includes "HUNKS University" for initial training, field ride-alongs, and dedicated operations coaching focused on crew management and dispatch efficiency. From the start, owners receive robust support, including a national marketing engine that handles paid search and SEO, a centralized call center for lead generation, and a proprietary CRM that manages scheduling and operations. The franchisor also provides ongoing modeling to help franchisees successfully expand from a single truck to multi-unit territory dominance.
Ideal Candidate & Qualifications
College HUNKS is looking for "Captains": competitive, coachable, and people-first leaders who are ready to manage high-energy crews. While experience in moving or junk removal is not required, success in this model is driven by strong leadership, sales aptitude, and operational discipline. The brand thrives with franchisees who are multi-unit minded and capable of scaling their operations. Candidates should be prepared for an owner-operator model, especially during the first 12 to 18 months, as they build their team and establish their local presence.
Purchasing a Franchise
