TAMPA, Fla. – College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving celebrated its 20th anniversary this summer with a milestone franchise conference in Tampa, underscoring its rapid growth from a college side hustle to one of the nation’s largest moving and junk removal companies. The company now operates more than 200 locations across the United States and continues to expand its national footprint.
The anniversary coincides with a U.S. moving industry valued at $20.9 billion in 2022, according to the American Trucking Associations’ Moving & Storage Conference. The sector sees roughly 27 million Americans relocate each year, illustrating strong demand for trusted providers.
As a result, College HUNKS reviews have become a critical marker of the brand’s reputation, with many clients searching “College Hunks Moving Reviews” and “College Hunks Hauling Junk Reviews” before booking services.
Founded in 2005 by Nick Friedman and Omar Soliman, who were high school friends and later college students, the business began with a borrowed van during summer break.
What started as hauling unwanted furniture evolved into a purpose-driven brand that emphasizes Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable Service, known internally as H.U.N.K.S. “We never set out just to move boxes,” Friedman said. “We wanted to build a company that develops leaders, gives back to communities, and delivers peace of mind during life’s stressful transitions.”
The 20th anniversary celebration featured recognition from Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, who awarded the founders the Key to the City for the company’s hurricane relief contributions. Grammy Award–winning artist Ludacris performed at the conference, energizing more than 200 franchise owners and team members gathered to honor two decades of growth and resilience.
In addition to its expansion, College HUNKS has strengthened its social mission through a 2-for-1 partnership with U.S. Hunger, donating more than 5 million meals to families in need. The brand also provides free moving services for survivors of domestic violence, reflecting its commitment to community impact.
Industry observers note that reputation remains central to the company’s success. A 2023 survey by the PwC found that consumer trust is one of the strongest differentiators in a fragmented marketplace. By emphasizing positive College HUNKS reviews, the brand positions itself as both a reliable service and a socially conscious choice for households nationwide.
Looking ahead, Friedman said the company plans to invest in technology and franchise growth while continuing its mission to “move the world, one home, one leader, one community at a time.” The next chapter will focus on scaling operations while deepening the culture that has defined the business since its first spray-painted van.
