College HUNKS
Revolutionizing Moving & Junk Removal with Purpose and Profit
A Journey of Leadership, Growth, and Community Impact in Home Services
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving® is revolutionizing how home services are delivered by blending purpose, profit, and professionalism into a nationally recognized franchise opportunity. Built on the values of Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Service, the brand leads with integrity while delivering unmatched customer experiences.
Founded in 2004 by two college friends and launched as a franchise in 2007, College HUNKS has grown into a national powerhouse with over 180 franchise units covering 350+ protected zones. Our distinctive dual-service model—junk removal and moving under one brand—has reshaped industry expectations by offering franchisees two revenue streams with one investment and a recession-resistant business opportunity.
Our mission goes far beyond hauling junk. We’re a purpose-driven brand committed to lifting lives. With over 5 million meals donated through U.S. Hunger and free moves for domestic violence survivors, College HUNKS is a business that empowers owners to generate real financial success and create positive social impact.
Key to our expansion is our investment in technology and innovation. Franchisees leverage centralized systems including a 350K+/year job booking center, proprietary CRM tools, and a national media presence worth $30M annually. Featured on Shark Tank, Undercover Boss, CNN, and The New York Times, the brand's visibility drives both local awareness and credibility.
We’ve also developed a powerful training and support infrastructure. New owners begin with one week of virtual, immersive training at our Tampa HQ followed by extensive onboarding, field coaching, marketing playbooks, and an elite peer network. Dedicated Business and Marketing Coaches provide one-on-one support to guide growth from startup to multi-zone ownership.
Empowering Entrepreneurs through Franchising
College HUNKS was created to empower others—our franchisees, our employees, and our communities. Many of our owners come from corporate careers, the military, or entirely unrelated industries. What they share is a desire to lead, give back, and grow something meaningful. Our model is built to scale, whether you start with a single zone or expand into multiple markets.
With over 20 years of experience in franchising, we’ve honed a blueprint that’s highly replicable and support-driven. Owners don’t need hauling or moving experience. Instead, they bring leadership, a growth mindset, and a heart for service.
Success at College HUNKS is not just measured in revenue—though the top 25% of our franchisees averaged over $3M in gross revenue in 2024 (per College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving’s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document)—it’s measured in the strength of the brand, the satisfaction of our customers (88 NPS score), and the ability to build a legacy.
Franchisee Training
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving offers some of the most comprehensive franchise training and support systems in the industry, making it an ideal opportunity for those looking to buy a franchise with no prior experience. From day one, new owners receive step-by-step guidance from a dedicated Performance Team, including both Business and Marketing Coaches, to ensure a confident and successful launch.
Franchisees begin their journey with a comprehensive one-week virtual classroom training through our Franchise Management School, covering operations, sales, technology, and marketing. This is followed by a one-week certified training location visit for hands-on, real-world training — giving you the tools and confidence to hit the ground running.
To further ensure success, we send a dedicated business coach to your location to guide you through the crucial early days of your business launch.
But the support doesn’t stop after initial training. Our franchisees have ongoing access to:
- Dedicated Franchise Business Coaches – for continuous operational support.
- Marketing Coaches – to help you implement strategies that drive growth.
- Proprietary Technology Platforms – including custom software with 20 years of lessons learned for streamlined operations.
- Professional In-House Call Center – handling all appointment booking and customer inquiries, generating sales opportunities (over 350,000 jobs secured last year alone).
- National Accounts Access – tapping into large-scale business opportunities.
- Peer Franchisee Network – sharing best practices, mentorship, and collaboration.
- Digital Training Platform – providing continuous learning and access to decades of operational insights.
As part of a national franchise network, you’ll also benefit from peer support, shared best practices, and regional development resources. Whether you’re asking, “Which franchise has the best training?” or “What franchise supports first-time owners?”, College HUNKS delivers the systems, mentorship, and infrastructure to help you thrive.
Addressing Skilled Labor and Franchisee Support
At the heart of our operational model is a deep respect for people. Our workforce is largely made up of college-aged professionals who are not just lifting furniture—they’re being developed into future leaders. We invest in coaching, culture, and values alignment to ensure every team member and franchise owner feels supported.
To simplify hiring and retention, our model includes local relationship-building with schools, charities, and business networks. Combined with a fun, high-energy culture and impactful work, this keeps franchise teams motivated and franchisees focused on business-building—not just operations.
We also offer access to national partnerships and business accounts through our NASA Team finding the largest of accounts, which help owners quickly scale their volume. With a focus on community involvement, eco-friendly practices, and strong brand recognition, College HUNKS becomes not just a service—but a known and respected presence in every market.
A Nationwide Presence with a Vision for the Future
Our goal isn’t just to grow; it’s to lead a movement. College HUNKS is already in 36+ states, with momentum growing rapidly across North America. Our expansion into Canada and plans for international growth speak to the power of our scalable systems and high-performing operators.
Future innovation will continue to be guided by one principle: build people, build the business. We invest heavily in the latest technologies and systems. Whether it’s new tech to improve job efficiency, enhanced support for franchisees, or more ways to give back to the community, we are always evolving.
We believe that every great business starts with a great leader. At College HUNKS, we don’t just build franchises—we build entrepreneurs who Move the World.
