Buy a College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving Franchise

College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving is a dual-service franchise that combines junk removal and full-service moving under one brand. Founded in 2005 and franchising since 2007, it operates more than 170 locations across the United States and Canada from its Tampa, Florida headquarters under franchisor CHHJ Franchising LLC.

The brand serves both residential and commercial customers, handling local moving, junk and debris removal, donation pickups and labour-only help. Its name reflects the H.U.N.K.S. ethos — Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, Service — and its bright orange trucks and uniformed crews anchor a recognisable, professional image in two industries still dominated by smaller independent operators.

College HUNKS runs a territory-based model with online booking, upfront pricing and a national call centre that books jobs on franchisees’ behalf. Sustainability is part of the positioning: the company donates or recycles much of what it hauls and partners with groups such as U.S. Hunger and Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Co-founders Omar Soliman and Nick Friedman built national visibility through appearances on Shark Tank and Undercover Boss.

Why buy a College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving Franchise?

Buying a College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving franchise gives an owner two complementary revenue streams — moving and junk removal — under a single brand, keeping crews and trucks productive across both lines of work. The home-services category it sits in has proved resilient across economic cycles, supported by steady relocations, real-estate turnover and renovation activity.

The brand’s main advantages are recognition and lead flow. National media exposure, a memorable orange-truck identity and a central call centre that books hundreds of thousands of jobs a year give franchisees marketing reach an independent hauler would struggle to match. Pre-negotiated national accounts and a values-driven operating playbook add further structure, and the franchisor extends fee incentives to qualified veterans and first responders.

College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners follow a launch path of as little as 70 days that pairs one week of virtual instruction with five days of hands-on training at the certified training centre at the Tampa headquarters, plus a Discovery Day with leadership. Each franchisee is assigned a dedicated business coach and a marketing coach, while a 300-plus-agent national call centre books jobs on their behalf through proprietary operations dashboards. Ongoing support includes coaching, webinars and the annual College Reunion conference. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access the franchisor provides to incoming owners and existing crew.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on local operators with backgrounds in management, sales or service rather than industry specialists; no moving or junk-removal experience is required. Day to day, the owner recruits and leads crews, drives local marketing and sales conversion, manages scheduling and routing, and holds teams to consistent service standards. It rewards process-driven, competitive people comfortable in a performance-focused culture, and the dual-revenue, multi-territory structure fits owners who want to build and scale rather than run a single truck.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    College HUNKS is widely recognised in franchise rankings. Entrepreneur has named it No. 1 in the moving and junk removal category and ranked it No. 143 on its Franchise 500, and it appears on Franchise Business Review's Best Mid-Sized and Top Franchises for Veterans lists. It has been cited by Franchise Times among leading junk-removal franchises, recognised by Forbes among top Shark Tank franchises, and listed for fast growth by Inc. The brand also carries national media exposure across outlets including The New York Times, CNN and Fox News.

  4. Industry / Market

    College HUNKS works across two large US service categories: moving and junk removal. The US moving services market is worth well over $20 billion, while junk removal and hauling is a multi-billion-dollar and growing segment. Demand is driven by the roughly 28 million Americans who relocate each year, plus real-estate turnover, home renovation and estate clear-outs. Both services are largely needs-based and recur across economic cycles, and the sector stays fragmented among small operators, leaving room for branded, professional providers. For resale buyers, local relocation volumes and competition shape a territory's revenue potential.
