Interest In Franchise Opportunities Skyrockets Due To Layoffs

February 20, 2009

College Hunks Hauling Junk, the largest US-based junk removal franchise opportunity, experiences 300% increase in franchise inquiries in the wake of shaky job market.

The wrath of the recession has reverberated worldwide, with massive amounts of layoffs reported Monday.  Once the top names of corporate America, companies like Caterpillar, Home Depot, Pfizer, Texas Instruments, Sprint Nextel and General Motors contributed 75,000 more people to the unemployment list.
The threat of being laid off has made many Americans wary about working for a firm. This has lead to a dramatic increase in franchise opportunity inquiries.
College Hunks Hauling Junk, a junk removal franchise with a commitment to recycling and the environment, has received a staggering swell in leads concerning the purchase of a franchise. President of College Hunks, Nick Friedman, reported an increase in the number of hauling franchise inquiries from 600 to 1,800, three times the amount of franchise leads from the previous year. This week, College Hunks Hauling Junk has received hundreds of franchise inquiries from major cities such as Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and New York. “The idea of being one’s own boss is quite attractive in today's gloomy job market,” said Friedman. “People want to take control of their lives and be in business for themselves. Franchising seems to be a popular avenue because they don’t have to reinvent the wheel.” 

The College Hunks Hauling Junk concept started when former high school classmates Omar Soliman and Nick Friedman began hauling junk using their mom’s cargo van. The company has since transformed from a temporary summer gig into a million dollar enterprise. Over 60% of the jobs are residential and many of the customers are women desperately battling packrat husbands, so it's no coincidence this “Junk Hunk” brand is so popular.  Clients can book their junk removal appointments online as well as vote for the “Hunk of the Semester” in the company’s “Hunk ‘Haul’ of Fame.” A portion of company revenue is donated to college scholarship programs.
