College Hunks Hauling Junk Named to 2013 “Florida Companies to Watch” List

TAMPA, Fla. - Aug. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- College Hunks Hauling Junk was recently named to GrowFL’s 2013 list of “Florida Companies to Watch.”

GrowFL, in association with the University of Central Florida, “recognizes and honors growing second-stage Florida companies that exhibit innovative business strategies and processes that make them ‘worth watching,’” according to the GrowFL website.

The list comprises the top 50 companies out of submissions from all over the state of Florida.

According to College Hunks Co-Founder and CEO Omar Soliman, “Being named among Florida’s top companies to watch is a great honor. Our industry isn’t traditionally ‘high-tech,’ but we’re trying to revolutionize it by incorporating technology and new systems. We’re focused on innovating because our goal is to make our client experience stress-free from start to finish. Earning this award is a solid validation of our efforts in that regard.”

Adds Co-Founder and President Nick Friedman, “We have nearly 50 franchises spread out across the country, but our presence in Florida is particularly strong. Not only do we have five franchises in the state, but also our national headquarters is in Tampa. Florida is our backyard, so to be recognized by GrowFL is a special honor for us and we take pride in that.”
