What began as a summer project in 2003 has evolved into one of America's most recognizable moving and junk removal brands. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving emerged when 21-year-old Omar Soliman borrowed his mother's cargo van after noticing customers at her furniture store needed help disposing of old items. Together with his high school friend Nick Friedman, Soliman launched a venture that would revolutionize two traditionally fragmented industries. The name—an acronym for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, Service—reflects the company's core philosophy. This approach paid dividends when their business plan won the University of Miami's Rothschild Entrepreneurship Competition in 2004, securing $10,000 in startup funding and validating their vision. After briefly pursuing corporate careers post-graduation, Soliman and Friedman realized their true calling was entrepreneurship. In 2005, they formally established the company, which rapidly expanded through franchising beginning in 2007. Today, the organization boasts over 200 locations across the United States and Canada, having served more than 10 million clients during its 20+ year history. What truly distinguishes College HUNKS is their comprehensive service model and environmental commitment. Unlike competitors who focus solely on transport, they offer end-to-end solutions including packing, moving, junk removal, donation pickups, and hourly labor. Their eco-friendly approach ensures that up to 70% of collected items are recycled or donated rather than landfilled. Under the leadership of Soliman, Friedman, and Brand President Roman Cowan, the company has achieved remarkable visibility, appearing on platforms like Shark Tank, Undercover Boss, and in major publications. Their philanthropic initiatives, including partnerships with US Hunger that have provided over 5 million meals to children facing food insecurity, demonstrate their commitment to moving not just belongings, but moving the world in a positive direction. From a beat-up cargo van to an Inc. 500 company with the most five-star reviews in their industry, College HUNKS exemplifies how innovation and values-driven leadership can transform humble beginnings into extraordinary success.
