Archive for the 'Junk Removal Franchise' Category
The Denver Business Journal recently published an article called “Franchising Expected to Pick Up This Year.” That’s a bit of an understatement. The International Franchise Association has some very optimistic stats for 2011. Here are a few of them:
- 4.7% Increase in Economic Output (services and goods that franchise businesses output)
- 2.5% Increase in the number of franchise establishments and jobs (aprox. 194,000 more jobs nationally)
- At the end of 2010 there were 765,723 franchise businesses, generating $706.6 billion, which will steadily increase throughout 2011.
Given the fact that the entire economy has been taking quite a hit over the past several years, these numbers are incredibly uplifting. Although franchises in general have been slowly growing over the past decade, we saw a sharp decline in 2009 due to the economic downturn. Now that we’re back on the right path due to looser credit loans for businesses as well as a greater talent pool of workers going into franchising, we can expect continued growth in the sector.
Our Junk King franchisee out of Colorado Springs, Clint Hailey, was specifically highlighted in the Denver Business Journal as an example of how a franchise is a great way to start a successful business, particularly in the fast-growing junk removal industry.
From the Denver Business Journal: “The learning curve would be shortened; the success rate would be quicker,” said Hailey, who said he hopes to open another Junk King franchise in the Denver area after he’s made his first location profitable. ”It’s kind of like a business in a box. you open the box and it says, ‘Step one, step two, step three.’ Instead of creating your own dance steps, you get to put your feet on steps that are laid out for you.”
Junk King is currently riding the wave of overall increased franchise growth as well as specific growth in the junk removal franchise sector. In 2011, Junk King is expected to see new franchises in a variety of locations across the country, including recent openings in Syracuse and Nashville, as well as the expected April launch of Junk King Los Angeles.

The world today is more connected than ever through the internet. The majority of Americans are doing a large portion of their daily activities online, including shopping, social networking and research. It’s not only about doing what’s trendy or popular, such as going on Facebook and Twitter. It’s about having instant access to information, where you want it and when you want it.

Here are a few of the great features on each franchise page:
1. We’re Local: Although Junk King is a nation-wide brand that you can trust to perform at the highest quality level, we also like to stress our local roots in each community. That’s why franchise pages offer a local flair – from providing pictures of the area around you to giving descriptions of the local franchise owners.

3. Social Networking: We realize the modern day importance of social networking. Not only does social media provide another pathway to provide information to our customers, but it also lets our customers connect with us. Have a question, complaint, or comment about Junk King in your local area? Simply find the Twitter or Facebook feed on the franchise page and let them know what you have to say. Also keep up to date with local Junk King deals or announcements so you can really take advantage of your next home cleaning adventure.
4. Testimonials: We know that it’s important for our customers to hear what other people are saying about each local franchise. That’s why there is a ‘testimonials’ section on each local page that gives you a sample of inputs from various customers. Hopefully if you hear the good word out there you’ll consider your local Junk King franchise when you need hauling services for your home or office.
