NOT JUST A MOVING COMPANY.
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving runs two revenue streams under one roof, and the playbook behind them gets stress-tested on more than 20,000 jobs every single month. The culture running underneath it all is nationally recognized.

Founded by two college buddies with a beat-up cargo van. Now a national brand.
FROM A CARGO VAN TO A NATIONAL BRAND.
Two college friends, one truck, and an idea that the moving industry could be better. Here’s how it became a system.
College HUNKS started in 2003 when co-founders Nick Friedman and Omar Soliman borrowed a cargo van and hauled junk to cover their college bills. The side gig outgrew the van fast. Two years in, they had the bones of a franchise system, built around a blunt observation: people dread hiring movers, so be the mover nobody dreads.
TWO REVENUE STREAMS, ONE PLAYBOOK
Every College HUNKS franchise sells two services out of the same location: junk removal and local moving. Junk jobs run year-round on cleanouts, downsizing, and estate work. Moving jobs concentrate in the spring and summer relocation season. One service props up the other, which is exactly the cushion single-service operators are missing.
Same territory, same office, same booking software. Each concept runs its own truck, so the second service line adds a vehicle rather than a second business.
Why the brand wins against independents
CULTURE IS THE COMPETITIVE MOAT
H.U.N.K.S. stands for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, Service, and inside the business it works as a hiring filter first. Hire to it, train to it, and the reviews tend to follow. Franchisees who take the culture seriously post stronger NPS scores, keep crews longer, and pick up more referral work than the ones who treat it as wall art.
“The brand gave us a system. The culture gave us a team that actually wants to show up.”
The franchise development team is stacked with people who have actually run locations. They know month-two panic firsthand, and the onboarding path exists specifically to carry new owners past it.

Nobody’s automating a couch down three flights of stairs. This work needs strong people on-site, and it will for a long time.
Culture as a system
H.U.N.K.S. works as a hiring filter and a training framework. Franchisees who run on it tend to lead their markets in reviews.
