Rubbish Works Targets Denver for New Franchise Units

Rubbish Works, the junk-removal franchise and latest addition to multi-brand franchisor Premium Service Brands’ roster of service-based franchises, is ready to expand. Specifically, the Premium Service Brands team has identified Denver, Colorado as a market primed for franchise growth thanks to its proximity to existing Premium Service Brands franchisees, abundance of territories and increasing consumer demand.

How Rubbish Works Will Position Franchisees in Denver for Success

There are currently four available Rubbish Works territories in the Denver area, and franchisees will benefit from the rare combination of both wide-open market availability and a built-in network of potential customers and referrals from surrounding Premium Service Brands franchise owners. 

For example, a Handyman Pro franchisee in Denver can recommend Rubbish Works to a client who may need junk removal services after a renovation. This multi-brand roster also means franchisees can expand their business portfolio by growing vertically with other Premium Service Brands concepts.

“The backing of a multi-brand franchisor is a big benefit of the Rubbish Works brand,” said Portland-based Rubbish Works franchisee and brand lead Casey Azeltine. “It is great having the information and resources of a multi-brand company with locations all over the country. In my particular area, I have five or six contacts who I can talk to across all brands, and it is nice to have that base of people to go back to for support.”

Rubbish Works franchisees will also be able to leverage Premium Service Brands’ comprehensive training, which covers all areas of the business to make sure owners are fully prepared to offer this in-demand service before their doors open. The Rubbish Works business model is designed to streamline operations, keep overhead costs low, optimize revenue and simplify staffing. 

“You don’t need a physical location to run the business — just a storage unit and a couple of parking spots,” said Premium Service Brands vice president of development Lydia O'Leary. “Prospects have the opportunity to work out of a home office because there isn’t any inventory. It is an interesting business because you show up with an empty truck and leave with a full truck. Overall, junk removal is a simple service and therefore requires less staff training and less complicated procedures to turn a profit.”

How Rubbish Works Stands Out From the Crowd in Denver

Denver is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic created a massive influx of homebuyers flocking to the area. According to the U.S Census Bureau, Denver features more than 300,000 households. 

Now, more than ever, these homeowners are looking to invest in home services, which is why the $51.6 billion junk removal segment is booming. Rubbish Works offers franchisee prospects the opportunity to enter this industry by providing residential and commercial customers with a professional, eco-friendly approach to junk removal, hauling and recycling, as well as reliable dumpster rental services. 

“The junk removal industry is not only recession-resistant, but it is also growing as homeowners spend more time in their living spaces and look for ways to make them as comfortable as possible,” said O'Leary. “Most of our competitors only haul waste, but we offer a full-service experience that includes everything from dumpster rental to rubbish pickup.”

This full-service experience includes upfront pricing, convenient scheduling, courteous and friendly crews and same-day service. Perhaps most notably, the brand also offers eco-friendly and sustainable waste disposal, a service that is becoming more relevant to homeowners. 

Plans for Future Growth

The Premium Service Brands team is ready to expand the Rubbish Works footprint by partnering with qualified entrepreneurs across the country. The team hopes to add five to six new locations by the end of 2021, as well as an additional 10 to 12 next year.

Since Rubbish Works is an emerging brand, prospects in Denver can be confident that their local market is available for growth. “Being a part of a new franchise and being one of the first 10 franchisees can be very beneficial — if you are looking to bring Rubbish Works to a new city, there are likely some territories available,” said Azeltine.

Now, O'Leary says the Premium Service Brands team is confident that Rubbish Works will thrive in Denver and beyond. “We are excited to bring Rubbish Works to new communities across the country while giving franchisee prospects the opportunity to achieve their dreams of business ownership,” she said. “As homeowners increasingly look to lead junk-free and minimal lives, the time has never been better to join the Rubbish Works family.”
