Junk King Blog

Junk King is known as an eco-friendly junk removal business. However, at our core, Junk King is a logistics company. All the systems we’ve built are designed to help our franchise owners manage and grow their fleet – and their profits. We have a proprietary software, for example, that can manage more than 400 Junk King trucks!  

Did you know that one in seven franchises in the United States is owned by a military veteran? And, a recent VetFran survey found that 97% of surveyed franchisors say veterans make excellent franchisees. In a nutshell, military veterans traditionally are good franchise owners because of the skills and behaviors they develop during service – they seamlessly transfer over to an entrepreneurial setting.

There are hundreds of different types of franchise businesses out there. If you ask us, we’d tell you that one of the most rewarding franchise businesses to explore is eco-friendly junk removal. Sure, we’re a little biased, and yes, junk removal isn’t the most glamorous industry, but when you consider the profound effect you can have on the planet and future generations, it’s a no-brainer! Not to mention, it’s a sound business decision for the long haul, as we’re recession and pandemic resistant too.

At Junk King, we welcome individuals from all walks of life to explore what our eco-friendly junk removal franchise has to offer. We’re proud to work with a diverse franchise network that includes teachers, Navy fighter pilots, health care professionals, lawyers and families!

There are tons of benefits to owning a franchise – for starters, you get to flex your entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen without the uncertainty of going at it alone. Not to mention, it’s a great way to become involved, leverage your local ties and make a lasting impact on your community. At Junk King, many of our franchisees not only work alongside our robust and dedicated franchise development team, but also their own families!

One of the many advantages of franchising is that you have a tried and tested playbook to work with. Given that so much hinges on that instruction manual, however, you want the best leadership at the top, adjusting the template to meet changing needs. Junk King understands this fully, which is why our leadership team is filled with industry experts who use their expertise to deliver the best results.

2020 has tested every system in any franchise handbook, but the good news is, we’ve emerged more resilient than ever.

At Junk King, community involvement and giveback initiatives are woven into our brand’s DNA. From our corporate team to our dedicated franchisees and employees, the Junk King family is committed to supporting those around us in any way we can, beyond the eco-friendly junk removal services we provide every day.

In recognition of Veterans Day, the Junk King franchise team would like to extend our gratitude to our nation’s heroes. We want to take this time to honor the veterans of the United States Armed Forces who have sacrificed so much for our country and freedom, including those within our own franchise family.

Essential workers are making a remarkable difference on the frontlines as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
