WE TURNED MOVING AND JUNK REMOVAL INTO GAME DAY.

Total investment is $203,100 to $355,500, with a minimum net worth of $200,000, per the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. That range covers the initial franchise fee, truck and equipment, working capital, marketing launch, and required reserves. The initial franchise fee itself is a portion of the total investment, not the full amount. Veterans and first responders qualify for a discount on the initial fee. Financing options are available through third-party SBA lenders, and the franchise development team can walk you through what the capital structure typically looks like for new operators.

The system-wide average gross sales per location was $1.55M in 2025, as reported in Item 19 of the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. Gross sales are not the same as take-home profit. Your actual earnings depend on your market, your crew efficiency, your mix of moving vs. junk removal revenue, and how quickly you scale. The franchise development team shares real ranges during the Discovery App process, and you will have the opportunity to speak directly with current operators during the validation phase. College HUNKS encourages every prospect to do that math with eyes wide open. Source: 2026 FDD, Item 19. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

Yes. Moving and junk removal track essential life events (relocations, downsizing, estate cleanouts, renovations) that continue through every economic cycle. People don't stop moving because the market dips. In fact, economic downturns often increase certain segments: downsizing, foreclosure cleanouts, and corporate relocations driven by restructuring. The combined junk removal and moving market in the U.S. is valued at approximately $23 billion and has grown through every recent cycle. College HUNKS' dual-revenue model provides additional resilience because you are not dependent on a single service line.

You need a minimum net worth of $200,000 and $203,100 to $355,500 in total investment capacity. Beyond the financials, College HUNKS looks for competitive, coachable operators who are strong people-leaders. Background in moving or junk removal is not required. Most successful franchisees come from corporate operations, sales leadership, military service, or small business ownership. What matters is your ability to recruit, train, and lead a young, high-energy crew. The franchise development team evaluates fit on both sides during the qualification process, because territory protection means they are selective about who operates in each market.

Most new franchisees go from signing to first paying job in 90 to 120 days. That timeline covers territory finalization, HUNKS University training, truck and equipment procurement, crew hiring, and marketing launch setup. The home office runs a structured onboarding calendar, so you are not figuring out the sequence on your own. Some markets can move faster depending on truck availability and local permitting. Your franchise development contact will map the specific timeline for your market during the Discovery App process.

College HUNKS provides national marketing (paid search, SEO, and call center lead generation), a proprietary CRM and dispatch system, ongoing operations coaching, and a multi-unit scaling playbook. The home office marketing engine starts generating leads for your territory before your first truck rolls. You get a dedicated operations coach who works with you on crew management, dispatch efficiency, and revenue growth. The CRM handles scheduling, invoicing, and customer communication in one platform. As you grow, the corporate team helps model the unit economics for additional territories so you can scale with data, not guesswork. The 7% royalty and 2% brand fund cover all of this.

College HUNKS awards protected territories, meaning no other College HUNKS operator can work in your designated area. Territory availability changes as new operators sign. The franchise development team maintains a live territory map that shows open markets across the U.S. and Canada. During your first call, they will check availability in your preferred area and walk you through the population, household density, and competitive landscape for that territory. Popular metro areas fill quickly, which is why the site references "2026 territories releasing now."

Yes. Veterans and first responders receive a $7,500 discount on the initial franchise fee. This discount is stackable on top of all standard franchisor support (marketing, training, CRM, operations coaching). College HUNKS actively recruits military veterans and first responders because the leadership skills, discipline, and team management experience from service translate directly to running a high-performing crew. If you qualify, mention it on your first call and the franchise development team will apply the discount to your investment breakdown.

College HUNKS is designed as an owner-operator model, especially for the first location. The strongest results come from franchisees who are in the business daily during the first 12 to 18 months, building the crew, establishing the culture, and learning the dispatch rhythm. That said, multi-unit operators do transition to a more managerial role as they scale. Once your first location has a trained crew leader and consistent operations, many owners shift their focus to growth, hiring, and territory expansion rather than day-to-day dispatch. It is not a passive investment on day one, but the system is built to let you step back as you build the team.

Yes. The national marketing engine, including paid search, SEO, and a centralized call center, starts routing leads to your territory as soon as you launch. You do not need to build your own marketing from scratch. The home office runs campaigns at the national level that generate calls and online bookings, and those leads are routed to your territory based on zip code. You also get local marketing launch support (yard signs, community partnerships, Google Business Profile setup) and access to the brand's national accounts pipeline, which can deliver commercial junk removal jobs from day one.
