August 28, 2007 - Washington, DC – College Hunks Hauling Junk (www.1800JunkUSA.com), the Washington, DC based junk removal company with franchises located in Orlando and Tampa, FL, recently sold its first West Coast franchise, an eight zone area development in San Francisco, CA.

"With the completion of our proprietary software and centralized call center for our national number '1-800-Junk-USA,' having a West Coast operation positions College Hunks Hauling Junk for expansion into every major metropolitan market in the country," states Nick Friedman, College Hunks Hauling Junk President.

College Hunks Hauling Junk recognizes the fact that they are not the first junk removal company to successfully franchise their concept. Vancouver based "Got Junk" has over 300 franchise locations. "If they are the McDonalds, Coke or Hertz of junk removal, we are the Burger King, Pepsi or Enterprise," explains George Palmer, Director of Franchise Development for College Hunks Hauling Junk. "Being second in the game has its advantages, because we can be more creative and fun with our concept."

The new San Francisco franchisees are a group of investors who expect to leverage the company's award-winning marketing strategies to service the area's growing demand for junk removal. The investors were compelled by the fact that the American Marketing Association recently recognized College Hunks Hauling Junk with Marketing Awards for their Corporate Identity, Website, and Affordable Marketing Campaign. "We're putting a clean, crisp image to a junk removal industry, which is otherwise inglorious. I tell people we are not in the disposal business, but rather the customer service and marketing business," states Friedman.

ABOUT COLLEGE HUNKS HAULING JUNK

Not your typical junk haulers, the company provides professional, clean-cut teams to dispose of unwanted items. Additionally, the company donates a portion of revenue to college scholarship programs. The College Hunks Hauling Junk concept started when former schoolmates of Chelsea Clinton, Omar Soliman and Nick Friedman began hauling junk using their mom's cargo van. They have since transformed a temporary summer gig into a million-dollar enterprise, with franchise locations in Orlando, Tampa and now San Francisco. In order to position itself for national expansion, College Hunks Hauling Junk purchased the toll-free phone number 1-800-Junk-USA for $13,500, and shelled out over $300,000 for franchise systems development. Customers can book their junk removal appointments online as well as vote in the company's "Hunk 'Haul' of Fame." Over 60% of jobs are residential, and many of the customers are female housewives desperately battling packrat husbands. Larger contracts have been completed for commercial clients such as USAirways and Securities Exchange Commission.
