Junk Junk Baby! took the franchise industry by storm last year when it announced the launch of its franchise opportunity. The emerging junk-hauling business has already made a name for itself in the $75 billion waste industry by prioritizing customer care and support. This is a differentiating point in an otherwise logistics-oriented industry that helped the brand generate buzz in markets it hadn’t even entered.
As Junk Junk Baby! prepares to launch franchisee-owned territories in markets across the U.S., three of the brand’s leaders — Eric Myers, CEO and Founder; Charlotte Melanson, Executive Coordinator; and Ben Henry, Operations Manager — all play instrumental parts in the company’s compounding success.
Eric Myers - CEO and Founder
Myers started Junk Junk Baby! with pure ambition and drive to have his own business. After many years doing telecom sales and endless cold calls, he was in tech and insurance for a while before deciding to “quit, buy an old truck, hustle and make something happen.” In the years since, he has grown his company from a one-man operation into what it is today. With his ambitious work ethic and focus, Myers will help Junk Junk Baby! thrive as it transitions to franchising. A true entrepreneur himself, Eric can relate to franchisees and serve as a model example of how successful one can be in the junk hauling industry.
Charlotte Melanson - Executive Coordinator
Melanson’s background includes over 20 years in human resources, building processes and procedures and ensuring operations run efficiently. She serves as executive coordinator and is an essential member of the team who orchestrates and handles many company initiatives. As the brand evolves into franchising, Melanson is working to connect Junk Junk Baby! with hundreds of franchise brokers nationwide, and setting up networking events across the country with unique opportunities for prospective partners and owners to meet and talk with Myers.
Ben Henry - Operations Manager
Henry comes from a real estate background; and, like Myers, was seeking a change in his career path. He just recently joined Junk Junk Baby!, in January, and he is incredibly excited and happy to be a part of the team. Henry is eager to expand the brand name and its operations to as many parts of the country as possible with franchising, and is committed to helping franchisees understand the business.
