College H.U.N.K.S. Hauling Junk and Moving

College H.U.N.K.S. Hauling Junk and Moving (CHHJ) started their mission to “move the world” in 2003 – Omar Soliman was back home in the suburbs of Washington DC, working for his moms furniture store to get some summer cash. While delivering couches to customers, Omar noticed customers asking to help get rid of their old couches. Omar saw an opportunity, and recruited his best friend, Nick Friedman to jump on it. They put up fliers around the neighborhood. Right away, people called. Omar and Nick created a business model based on their summer of junk-hauling, and won an entrepreneurship competition with this plan. After a brief corporate stint, Omar and Nick officially started College Hunks in 2005, and began franchising in 2007, bringing their prize-winning plan to life. Now, with Omar as CEO and Nick as President, CHHJ has over 200 locations around the US and Canada.

The H.U.N.K.S name began as an amusing phrase between Omar and Nick, and evolved into an acronym that captures the CHHJ values: Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, Service. College Hunks promises to handle your things with precision, care, and professionalism and aid the stress of moving and removing unwanted items with care.

All items CHHJ removes get re-used by people in need. This is ensured through partnerships with Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity, and hundreds of independent non-profits. When an item can’t be re-used, CHHJ disposes of them in an eco-friendly way.
Additionally, CHHJ partners with U.S. Hunger to donate two nutritious meals for every move booked. CHHJ also promotes domestic violence awareness to help those suffering from these situations. During October, CHHJ offers domestic violence victims heavily discounted moves, treating each situation with the utmost confidentiality and sensitivity.
