Learn about the JUNKCO+ Franchise Opportunity from Founder, Blake Gordon

JUNKCO+ is positioned to become an emerging franchise in the junk removal and waste management space, backed by BELFOR Franchise Group, JUNKCO+ is poised to become a go-to national brand for junk removal and demolition services.  Learn more about our franchise opportunity in this interview alongside the Founder of JUNKCO+, Blake Gordon.

What is JUNKCO+ franchise?

We are set to become an emerging brand in the junk removal and demolition space. We have robust systems that allow our franchise owners the ability to compete with not only the local mom and pops, but also the well-established junk removal franchises in their markets. JUNKCO+ is capable of completing jobs that others simply won’t take on.

How did JUNKCO+ get started?

I was in the lawn care industry for 17 years, and we had some extra dump trailers sitting around that weren’t being used for certain parts of the year. The junk removal space has always intrigued me in general. Once we started, I realized the growth potential in junk removal was worth exiting the lawn and landscape industry. We became more professional and consolidated. I felt like we knew how to acquire customers, how to be profitable, and how to maintain a professional image. After three and a half years, it became my goal to transform this startup into a national franchise brand.

Why did you choose to franchise with BELFOR Franchise Group?

We felt like becoming part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family was best for the JUNKCO+ brand, for what my vision is, and for the benefit of future franchise owners as well. They treat everyone like family, but beyond that, there’s an abundance of support and well-established systems in place. From the nitty-gritty details like truck operation to the broader tasks of sales and waste disposal, new and existing franchisees have access to a robust network of people ready to assist them at every step.

How do you and BELFOR Franchise Group support franchise owners?

We help franchise owners with anything from operations to running a truck, to the safety measures, to the equipment that’s needed for PPE, accounting, CRM pieces, customer relationship management, and more. We have a vast digital university we call JUNKCO+ University that has instructional videos that franchise owners and their teams can reference at any time. It’s a very robust system that is very inclusive for all of the questions of day-to-day work.

How is JUNKCO+ franchise unique?

We offer more services than most traditional junk removal services, but it goes a few steps further than that. Our local JUNKCO+ crews consistently carry a professional appearance and show up onsite in well groomed and clean uniforms.

We also have proven systems that differentiate JUNKCO+. We set service appointments using a software that helps us stay in communication with the customer. As soon as a job is booked, a customer is notified by text message and email, so they know when to expect our local technicians, and they’ll also get two or three reminders prior to JUNKCO+ arriving. Our service timeframe is very fast, as we can often offer same day or next day service, and this definitely sets us apart from many of our competitors.

What makes an ideal JUNKCO+ franchise owner?

We’re seeking individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit who have the wherewithal to navigate through challenging days without letting emotions take over. In this industry, maintaining a calm demeanor, staying consistent with marketing efforts, and keeping a level head is crucial. The differences from day to day can be dramatic—going from slow days where it feels like nothing is happening to suddenly needing extra trucks the next day. JUNKCO+ is searching for individuals with the entrepreneurial drive, a level-headed demeanor, and the ability to lead a team without being swayed by emotions. Those qualities are key to thriving in this industry and achieving success.

Why franchise with JUNKCO+ today?

JUNKCO+ is poised to become an emerging brand in an industry with strong demand, and has  prime territories available across the country that may not be available with other franchise brands in the space. The opportunity is now available for any and all markets that can take advantage of regular household junk removal service, for customers that need it due to catastrophic events, and everything in between.
