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.

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.
