Ideal candidates

Built for any investor.

We are looking for franchise partners who can lead, inspire, and teach their teams. No prior moving or junk removal experience is required, but the most successful owners tend to share a few traits: they are comfortable leading people, they want to be the executive working on the business rather than in it, and they care about delivering Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Service. If that sounds like you, you could be a great fit.

Franchise ownership FAQ

Ownership questions.

The initial term of the College HUNKS franchise agreement is 10 years, and it is renewable for an additional 10-year term.

No. Your team does the heavy lifting; franchise partners are the executive coaches on the sidelines. In our world, HUNKS stands for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Service. Owners come from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.

No. Most clients are homeowners and businesses. We recruit team members on college campuses, but the customers are typically upper-middle-class homeowners and commercial clients like property managers, real estate agents, contractors, and storage facilities.

A franchise is a license that gives you, the franchisee, access to a franchisor’s proven business systems, processes, and trademarks. You operate under the brand and pay an initial fee plus ongoing royalties. Lenders often see franchises as a lower-risk way to enter a competitive industry, since you launch with a tested model rather than starting from scratch.

The right franchise can be. Profitable franchises tend to share a few things: a proven business model, best-in-class training, mentorship from a business coach, support that helps grow sales, and strong brand recognition. College HUNKS provides all of this, and the FDD lays out the financial detail so you can evaluate it for yourself.

Yes. Qualifying veterans receive a $7,500 discount on the franchise fee (for 51% or greater ownership). Military leadership translates directly to franchise ownership, and we have been named a top franchise for veterans by Franchise Business Review, with veterans operating successful locations around the country.
