College Hunks Hauling Junk is the genius brainchild of Nick Friedman, an American Entrepreneur, dedicated to helping both people that need a hunk and hunks that need people. With his childhood friend Omar Soliman, Friedman built the company from the ground up. They first started with one van and a few strong buddies to make some extra cash in the summers between semesters. A few years after their college years they decided it was time to go all out and make College Hunks Moving Co. a legit thing. Freidman and Soliman put countless hours, nights, and weekends into organizing licensing regulations, figuring costs, and finding the necessities such as vans, uniforms, logo brandings, and most importantly; hunks. They first started hiring several college buddies and then hired buddies of buddies and finally branched out to all kinds of hunks. Football players, basketball players, trackletes, swimmers, and even mechies all started finding this awesome summer job geared towards college kids to help not only them out with their financial situation, but to also help their community with heavy lifting that would be more difficult for both the older and younger generations. The company itself has grossed billions in the past decade and has made Friedman famous in the Entrepreneurial world. Friedman has been featured in the Top 30 Entrepreneurs under 30 by INC Magazine along with iconic figures like Mark Zuckerberg. Today the company continues to grow across the nation; spreading to smaller towns and larger cities to get junk out and get good into the community by uniting its youth to needs.
Great points in your summary: what really makes this company great is that it can employ so many young people for the summer and it is an easy business to spread to multiple locations. The business also seems to have a really cool brand identity- the name sticks in my head really easily. This service is something that everyone can use as well.
What makes this so successful is not that there is a demand in the market, but there is little scarcity in supplys. There are tons of college students looking for summer work and it just so happens to be in an industry that is very “seasonal-worker based”.
The title of this company is just so great- and pretty descriptive of the service. I think it’s neat how Friedman took a side-job and expanded it to something that puts a little extra cash in the pockets of college kids around the country and helps communities!
What a clever idea for a company with a name that is funny but speaks what the company is about. I think it’s cool that Friedman saw a need around and decided to make a company out of it. This wasn’t just a side job for him but became his career. There is always a need for people to come a do the heavy lifting. What a great company!
The title behind this idea is just so great. Because of that, it will bring interest to the company. While the purpose of the idea is fulfilling peoples needs, the name is what grabs peoples attention. I believe the name was definitely a key part in the process of getting the company’s name out there to its audience.
This company did a great job of finding an opportunity for labor and filling it. Friedman understood that there were a lot of college guys that needed some cash and could move stuff pretty easily and turned that into a thriving business.
