The 1800-GOT-JUNK? franchise was established by Brian Scudamore in 1989 as a part-time business when he was a university student and although the home services franchise has grown and expanded well beyond the realms of an after-school-hours business, it still maintains the same dynamism in all its operations. Currently, the cleaning services franchise is the largest junk removal franchise in the world, operating over 300 franchised outlets in four countries, but the firm still maintains a youthful appearance through its employees and licensed business owners.
The 1800-GOT-JUNK? franchise’s field is a relatively new market that is not properly serviced. The intention of the cleaning services franchise is to not only be a market leader in that field but to also dominate that field by providing a professional service.
In order to effectively offer its services to its large clientele, 1800-GOT-JUNK? relies on a franchise business structure. The business opportunity offered by the cleaning services franchise attracts young, ambitious people because of its low cost, turnkey business program. The 1800-GOT-JUNK? franchise also believes in a mutually beneficial business structure with the franchisees helping 1800-GOT-JUNK? become an international brand while at the same time being able to develop an stable and successful business.
