History
The Junkluggers was started in 2004 by Josh Cohen using his mom’s SUV and operating out of a small storage closet in his father's office. Brand-conscious from the start, he painted one wall in the tiny room a brilliant shade of green. That dazzlingly green wall served as a constant reminder of the company's dedication to being eco-conscious. From the get-go, The Junkluggers green has represented the high-energy and eco-friendly focus our company lives out every day. The commitment to strengthening and defining The Junkluggers brand began in the earliest days of our company and continues to guide our growth. After nearly 10 years in business, The Junkluggers began franchising to bring their services to more neighborhoods across the country. Today, The Junkluggers is part of Authority Brands an industry leader in the home services industry supporting over 1,000 franchisees nationwide.
Ideal Candidate
Our successful junk removal franchise owners come from all walks of life, different generations and a wide variety of backgrounds. We’ve got young professionals, MBAs, CPAs, millennials, and semi-retired baby-boomers. Some of our owners forged partnerships as friends, others as family members. A few have extensive backgrounds in the franchise industry, others don't, and a handful even worked on trucks as luggers before buying their own territories! On the surface, The Junkluggers owners might look very different. But what binds them together and makes them an ideal, super-powered team are the core values they emulate. An ideal Junkluggers franchisee will share these values:
- Care deeply about people and a job well done
- Enjoy building and motivating teams
- Believe in the brand and the company culture
- Know business owners look out for each other and always do the right thing, even when no one is looking
- Have a passion for protecting the environment and bettering their communities
- Appreciate the value of sound business advice and established processes and procedures
- Are hardworking, flexible, fun, energetic and appreciate the same attributes in the management team
