AI is transforming how work gets done — but not what customers ultimately value. Businesses that rely on human judgment, physical execution, logistics, and trust remain insulated from full automation.
College HUNKS operates in a category where:
Work must be performed on-site
Customers value reliability, professionalism, and care
Outcomes cannot be digitized or outsourced
In this Entrepreneur webinar, we break down why human-centered, service-based franchises are uniquely positioned to thrive — and how College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving® has built a proven franchise model that technology supports, not replaces.
This is not theory.
It’s a real-world franchise opportunity built on:
Essential services that can’t be automated
A recession-resistant business model
Two revenue streams (moving + junk removal)
National brand recognition and support
A purpose-driven culture focused on people, leadership, and community
If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, corporate professional, or veteran exploring franchise ownership, this video will help you understand:
What makes a business AI-resistant?
Why service franchises outperform during economic shifts?
How franchise systems reduce risk for owners?
What to look for in a scalable franchise opportunity?
Whether a moving and junk removal franchise is right for you?
AI is eliminating friction in knowledge work, digital services, and transactional businesses. Franchises built entirely on software, lead arbitrage, or digital fulfillment face compression as AI lowers barriers to entry.
In contrast, service franchises with physical execution — like moving and junk removal — benefit when technology improves scheduling, routing, and customer acquisition without replacing labor or leadership.
For franchise buyers, this distinction matters.
The dual-service model discussed in the video creates:
Diversified income
Expanded customer lifetime value
Reduced seasonality risk
Franchise owners operate one brand with two complementary revenue engines.
As outlined in the video, AI-resistant businesses share common characteristics:
Physical service delivery
Local market execution
Human-led teams
Operational complexity
Trust-based customer interaction
College HUNKS meets all five criteria. AI supports the system, but cannot replace the service itself.


Moving homes, clearing properties, managing logistics, and interacting with customers require situational awareness and accountability.
Unlike digital franchises, these services:
Cannot be completed remotely
Cannot be fully standardized by software
Cannot be outsourced overseas
This creates durable demand and defensibility for franchise owners.
The video distinguishes between franchises that are driven by technology and those supported by technology.
College HUNKS is firmly tech-supported:
Technology enhances booking, routing, and reporting
National Call Center captures and qualifies demand – Over 350K jobs booked for owners last year.
Marketing systems improve efficiency and visibility
Technology serves owners — it does not replace them.
College HUNKS began as a college side hustle and evolved into one of the most recognized moving and junk removal franchises in North America.
Today, the brand operates:
- 300+ franchise locations
- Multiple Streams of Revenue
- A centralized support infrastructure with call center, marketing, national accounts and so much more
This origin story matters to franchise buyers evaluating system maturity and adaptability.

Service franchises historically outperform during downturns because they solve immediate, real-world problems.
College HUNKS benefits from:
Residential and commercial demand
Insurance and real estate referrals
Property management relationships
Technology serves owners — it does not replace them.
Investment varies by market size and growth plan.
Territory availability, ramp timelines, and capital requirements are reviewed during the franchise discovery process.
We have Financial Partners that we can refer you to who are used to working with us.
We have Availability all over the US but we have limited availability on major growth markets. Such as major metro areas because we have been expanding over the last 20 years.
