In the spirit of Get Organized Month, College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving®, a renowned moving industry leader, is championing the cause of a neater and more organized 2024. Nick Friedman, Co-Founder and Visionary of College HUNKS, emphasizes the importance of starting the year in an organized space, setting a positive tone for the months ahead.

Step 1: Have a Plan

To kickstart your organizational journey, establish a plan outlining your goals and desired accomplishments. Whether it's organizing your entire house or specific areas, a well-thought-out plan keeps you focused and on track.

Step 2: The Four-Box System

College HUNKS recommends a practical four-box system—Keep, Donate, Sell, and Trash. Categorize items accordingly as you declutter, making the process more efficient and manageable.

Step 3: Evaluate and Streamline

Once organized into the four boxes, evaluate items in the "Keep" box. Ask yourself essential questions like whether you've used them in the past year or if they bring joy or serve a practical purpose. Streamline your possessions to keep only what truly matters.

Step 4: Implement an Organization System

For the items that remain, implement an organization system that suits your preferences, whether it's storage bins, shelves, or other solutions. Commit to spending at least an hour a week on organization to keep clutter at bay.

Step 5: Donation Box

Keep a Donation box in your home throughout the year for easy disposal of items you wish to donate. Once the box is full, take it to a local charity, such as Goodwill or Salvation Army, to contribute to community initiatives.

Larger Items Disposal:

For larger items like appliances and furniture, College HUNKS offers professional assistance. Their teams can pick up and deliver items to nearby charities, recycling centers, or other appropriate locations.

Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be a challenging journey, but College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving® is making that transition smoother for veterans by offering a compelling business plan for life after service. As an award-winning company and a leader in stress-free moving and junk-hauling solutions, College HUNKS has established itself as a top-rated veteran franchise.

Dana Hansen, Director of Franchise Development for College HUNKS, recognizes the unique qualities that veterans bring to the table. "The hard work, dedication, and attention to detail that is often found with veterans are key for business success. Their commitment to leadership also resonates with the College HUNKS core values and makes them ideal candidates for our organization," says Hansen. This commitment to veterans is reflected in the fact that nearly 20% of the College HUNKS enterprise is composed of veterans.

One such veteran is Destrian Vallejo, the owner of the Temecula, CA College HUNKS location. Vallejo, who served in the United States Marine Corps for 20 years, attributes his military experience to his success in business ownership. "After my military career, I knew that I wanted to be in business for myself. I also knew that I loved being around Marines and helping shape young people and watching them grow," shares Vallejo. His decision to join College HUNKS was influenced by the company's core value of "Building Leaders," aligning with his desire to continue mentoring and developing young individuals.

Vallejo's Temecula location proudly offers military discounts for both junk removal and moving services, showcasing College HUNKS' commitment to supporting the military community.

College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving actively champions veterans and is a proud member of VetFran, a strategic initiative of the International Franchise Association and the IFA Foundation. VetFran facilitates the transition of veterans into franchising, and as part of this initiative, College HUNKS offers military veterans a discount on their franchise fee and other incentives.

Choosing College HUNKS as a post-military career path not only opens the door to entrepreneurial opportunities but also aligns with a company that values the unique skills and qualities that veterans bring to the business world. College HUNKS is not just a franchise; it's a community where veterans can continue to lead, grow, and succeed.

In the dynamic world of business, where success hinges on various factors, one element stands out as a true game-changer: corporate culture. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving understands this well, recognizing that a strong and positive corporate culture is not just beneficial; it's essential for a thriving junk removal and moving franchise system.

Dana Hansen, a key figure at College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving, emphasizes the significance of a positive culture. "A positive culture is the culmination of core values that are shared by like-minded individuals who are not only known but celebrated daily," says Hansen. In their commitment to fostering a positive environment, College HUNKS takes a unique approach by incorporating daily celebrations into their routine.

Imagine this: every day at 11:11 a.m., the entire brand central staff hits the pause button for 15 minutes. Why? To celebrate a different core value each day. This intentional focus on core values sets the tone for a workplace that goes beyond recognition—it's a celebration of the principles that define College HUNKS' identity.

This commitment to a positive culture has far-reaching effects, extending beyond the brand's central staff to impact franchise owners and their teams. A strong and positive corporate culture, according to Hansen, contributes to increased employee engagement, elevated productivity, and the creation of a collaborative team environment.

Why does culture matter so much, especially in the context of a franchise system? The answer lies in its profound impact on franchise owners and their teams. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving understands that a happy and engaged team is not only good for the individuals involved but also for the overall success of the business.

Gallup, a renowned research organization, supports this perspective. They highlight that a healthy corporate culture can set a brand apart in the marketplace and attract customers. In an industry where customer trust and satisfaction are paramount, a positive culture becomes a competitive advantage.

In essence, College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving has set a standard in recognizing the power of positive culture. By celebrating core values daily, they've woven a vibrant tapestry that strengthens their brand, attracts top talent, and ultimately enhances the experience for both employees and customers.

As businesses continue to navigate the complexities of the modern marketplace, the example set by College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving serves as a testament to the transformative influence of a positive and celebrated corporate culture.

The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the joy of festive gatherings, delicious meals, and cherished moments with family and friends. To ensure your home is a welcoming haven during this special time, College HUNKS Junk Hauling Franchise has curated a list of expert tips and tricks for organization and decluttering. Nick Friedman, Co-Founder and President of College HUNKS, emphasizes the importance of a neat space for reducing the stress of hosting a group.

Here are some valuable tips to help you get organized and create a warm, inviting atmosphere for your loved ones:

1. Clear the Clutter as Soon as Possible

Start by assigning bins in high-traffic areas with labels like "recycle," "donate," and "trash." Make it a daily goal to get rid of one item. Once the clutter is gone, pack your bins and take them to their respective places.

2. Deep Clean Your Living Spaces

Begin cleaning high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms in early November. Scrub grout, wipe baseboards, doorknobs, and blinds, sanitize trash cans, and clean carpets and wood floors. As the holidays approach, you'll only need to dust and run a vacuum around the area.

3. Create Space for Holiday Decor and Guests

Move furniture around to ensure you have enough space for guests to store their belongings. Put away non-essential items to make space for festive decorations.

4. Get an Early Start on Decorating

Invest in clear, airtight containers with labels for decorations. Consider containers with dividers for smaller, fragile ornaments. Decorating early allows you to check off a task from your to-do list sooner.

5. Sort Food and Plan Your Meals

Start purchasing non-perishable foods for the holidays early. Ensure you have enough dishes and a large enough tray for your holiday feast.

6. Get Everything Ready Two Days Ahead of Time

If you have guests arriving, ensure everything is prepared two days before their arrival. This proactive approach will save you stress and allow you to enjoy the festivities.

7. Consider Giving the Gift of Experience

To minimize clutter and trash, consider giving experiential gifts rather than tangible ones. This creates special memories with loved ones and keeps your space tidy.

The holidays may bring some stress, but with thoughtful preparation, you can ensure a joyous and organized celebration. College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving® wishes you a clutter-free and magical holiday season.

In the world of business, dreams often become reality through dedication, hard work, and the right opportunity. David Giordano's story is a testament to this truth, as he recently transformed his aspiration into reality by becoming the proud owner of the Central New Jersey College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving franchise.

Giordano's journey with College HUNKS began in 2016 when he joined the company as a Wingman while still in college. Little did he know that this initial step would lead him to a fulfilling career and eventually to franchise ownership. Our moving and junk hauling franchise offers a stress-free experience, has a strong commitment to Building Leaders, and Giordano is a shining example of this principle.

"Owning a business allows you to see success based on continuous devotion and pride in the work completed each day. College HUNKS was the perfect match for me." -- shared Giordano.

His unique discovery process involved starting as an employee and experiencing firsthand the company's core value of Building Leaders. The idea that individuals starting on the trucks could rise to become managers and beyond resonated deeply with Giordano's dream of franchise ownership.

After graduating from Susquehanna University, Giordano transitioned to a sales and marketing role within the company, steadily climbing the ranks to become a general manager. Now, as the owner of the Central New Jersey location, he reflects on the journey, expressing gratitude to the incredible team at the Hillsborough location.

Giordano's dream became a reality with the grand opening of the Central New Jersey College HUNKS location this past September. The team, serving areas such as Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Warren County, Sussex, Union, and parts of Middlesex, embodies the core values of the company. Their commitment to clients is evident, setting the College HUNKS experience apart.

Beyond business success, Giordano is committed to giving back to the community. The Central New Jersey location supports over a dozen local charities through furniture donations, aligning with the company's purpose-driven approach. As a former athlete, Giordano also expresses interest in supporting area high school football and basketball teams.

Nick Friedman, Visionary and Co-Founder of College HUNKS, commends Giordano on his journey, stating, "His transition to owner speaks volumes about his confidence in the brand and demonstrates to other potential franchisees the appeal and strength of our brand."

Giordano's story is not just about business ownership; it's about realizing dreams, building leaders, and making a positive impact in the community. As College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving continues to grow, stories like David Giordano's serve as inspiration for those with entrepreneurial aspirations.
