Junk King Franchises Continue Expansion

Published on November 5, 2010 in Business Junk Removal, Junk Removal Franchise, junk hauling business and junk king. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Junk King continues to differentiate itself from its competitors by providing the most efficient, eco-friendly and affordable junk removal service across the country.  The hauling company is rapidly expanding into new territories, including notable recent openings in Massachusetts, Mesa, Phoenix and Colorado Springs as well as expected launches in Chattanooga, Kansas City, Minnesota and Ohio.

Junk King recently signed Peter Gilfillan, a former Ford Motor’s general manager, as a Master Franchisee to expand franchises into the Colorado, Minnesota and Ohio.  Dennis Mulgannon, Junk King’s Director of Franchises commented on the company’s rapid growth: “The growth of our business is skyrocketing due to the millions of people constantly looking for dependable services to clean clutter and unwanted items from their homes or businesses.  We’ve turned to Peter to build on our momentum and grab a large piece of the vast market share in the multi-billion dollar junk removal industry.”

There are several reasons thus far for Junk King’s rapid expansion, even during the recent economic downturn.  One is the company’s commitment to professionalism.  Every Junk King employee, whether they are working in San Francisco or New York, is hired based on high standards of professionalism, skill, and integrity.  These employees are bonded and insured to make sure that a customer and their property are safe.

Another reason for Junk King’s success has been their commitment to the environment.  In a country where the ‘next big thing’ is clean energy and green technology, it makes perfect sense that Junk King has devoted considerable resources to recycling a large quantity of hauled materials.  Not only does this help local communities by creating a greener environment, it also contributes to Junk King’s overall brand recognition as an eco-friendly business.

Why get rid of Junk?

Throughout the lifetime of this blog, we’ve constantly reminded people to get rid of their junk.  You might ask, why should I get rid of my junk? Can’t you keep your junk around and just not worry about it?  Isn’t it more effort to try and get rid of junk than to simply leave it be and see what happens?

Although this mindset seems valid when phrasing it in this manner, it in fact leads to more effort, stress and problems.  Junk is like one of those problems you have in the back of your head, something you need to get over with, but keep pushing off.  It’s like holding off on paying your parking tickets – you know you should pay them, but you keep putting them aside for later.  Before you know it, those parking tickets are accruing fees.  And even though you didn’t realize it, they were stressing you out all the while.

The junk around your home or office might seem harmless in a certain light, but it is in fact a constantly nagging problem that will ‘accrue’ and get worse over time. Here are a few simple reasons to get rid of your junk as soon as possible.

  1. Junk Builds Up: Junk is not something that just goes away on its own.  Unused clutter and items will slowly but surely add up, taking up more of your valuable home space and continuing to be useless.
  2. Junk Takes Up Space: Junk can be big, heavy and take valuable space in your home or office.  This space could be used for a thousand other useful items – things that are completely necessary as well as things you’ve always wanted to be around.
  3. Junk Looks Bad: Junk is dusty, musty, broken, ripped, leaking, broken and simply ugly.  Whether you are trying to make your home presentable to guests or your office a more professional workspace, junk can only detract from your desired aesthetic.
  4. Junk is Stressful: Whether you realize it or not, junk around the house can be a constant nag on your mind.  Free and open space has proven to be relaxing, while clutter is a sure path to stress.
  5. Junk is Easy to Get Rid Of: Even if you realize Junk is bad, you might think big, heavy, and broken down items are difficult to remove from your home or office.  That’s where we come in.  Junk King will take the junk off of your hands in an efficient, affordable and eco-friendly manner.  Give us a call at 1-800-995-JUNK and we’ll help you with your junk problem right away.

Junk Removal Can Help Your Business

As the summer approaches, you may be asking how you can kick your business into high gear even during the hottest months of the year.  It may be difficult for employees to concentrate when it’s beautiful outside; they probably would rather be enjoying the great summer weather than sitting in an office looking at a computer screen.  Many of your employees may also be daydreaming of hiking, river rafting, barbecues, and Caribbean vacations.

It’s an often overlooked strategy to change some things up at the office during the summer to motivate your employees to continue to work at strong pace.  Here are a few things you can do to keep the productivity rolling:

Company Outings:  Although it may seem cliché, a company outing is a great way to build camaraderie as well as let your employees get a breath of fresh air during a busy time of year.  The summer is the perfect time to get outside – a company sponsored barbecue is one great way to spend a long lunch and a friendly game of bocce ball could add some excitement to an otherwise dull day.

Exercise:  It cannot be overstated how important exercise can be for your employee’s overall productivity (as well as their health).  Exercise sharpens not only the body but also the mind: it is proven time and again that workers who exercise regularly are far more productive at the office.  Consider getting outside and bringing your company on a hike, kayaking trip, or biking expedition.  Also offer employees the option to work out mid-day as long as they are able to accomplish the same number of goals within a workday.

Office Junk Removal:  Unwanted clutter and junk in your office can have a big effect on your employee’s overall performance on an everyday basis.  It could be some old desks from workers who were laid off in the past year that are still sitting around.  It might be an old Xerox machine that is simply taking up space or a water cooler that doesn’t work anymore.  These items are doing nothing for your business, and in fact may be a detriment to your employee’s performance simply by sitting there.  A junk hauling business can easily and efficiently remove this clutter without interrupting a normal work day.

Competition:  A little competition like a sports bracket or after work dart tournament never hurt anyone.  Although an ‘extra-curricular’ competition might seem like it would distract employees, it may in fact be a nice reprise from the regular schedule – keeping employees alert and on-target.
