Latest acquisition adds a new service vertical and further solidifies the company’s intent to become the Hub for Home Services for consumers.

WACO, Texas — Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services company, announced today its acquisition of Junk King®, the nation’s top-rated junk removal and hauling company. Junk King has more than 150 locally owned franchises across 32 states and in Canada (as Junk Works®). This acquisition enters Neighborly into an entirely new service vertical and reinforces its position as the Hub for Home Services™.

“At Neighborly, we want to be the mainstream home services a homeowner typically needs on a reoccurring basis,” said Mike Bidwell, President and CEO of Neighborly. “We saw Junk King as another excellent opportunity to expand into a new service vertical with a brand that has a strong reoccurring business model and potential for growth. Junk King is one of a handful of scaled franchised companies operating in the $10 billion junk removal market today.”

Co-founder Michael Andreacchi started the company from his garage in San Carlos, California in 2005 and began franchising it in 2010. Today, the customer-centric brand prides itself on its unparalleled service and its goal to keep 60% of all materials it collects out of landfills by repurposing materials and recycling as much as it can. Junk King’s extra-large trucks — which are 20% bigger than its competitors’ — also work to decrease its carbon footprint while saving customers money at the same time.

“I never would have dreamed that we could grow Junk King into what it has become in the market today,” said Andreacchi. “This is due to the hard work and perseverance of our leadership team and employees, and further reinforced by our franchise owners, who believed in our vision and propelled the brand through their entrepreneurial drive. Now, with the opportunity for Junk King to join the largest home services company in the world, there’s no limit to how large this brand can become, and I’m certain this is the right step for the future.”

Lisa Merry, Chief Operating Officer for Junk King, has assumed a new role as Brand President. Merry has extensive experience in franchising with multiple prior leadership roles at Huntington Learning Centers, Coverall Health-Based Cleaning and School of Rock. Andreacchi will remain connected as an investor and Brand Ambassador for Junk King.

Neighborly recognizes that every associate plays a role in the overall value creation for the company. Junk King employees will be eligible to begin vesting into the Neighborly Associate Equity Program.

Boxwood Partners served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Junk King for the transaction.

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 1,700 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its Orange County Master Franchise owner, Deepak Sinha, expanded his operations into South Los Angeles County. Deepak’s success in Orange County fuels this expansion since taking ownership of the territory in 2019. Since then, Deepak has grown and developed his franchise operations, paving the pathway for small business ownership for many first-time entrepreneurs. The expansion includes territory from the Orange/LA County line to I-10 in Santa Monica.

Sinha, an alumnus of St. Stephen’s College in New Dehli, India, and the Indian Institute of Management, has been in the corporate world for 25 years, including stints in sales with IBM, Accenture, and DuPont India. A nearly twenty-year resident of Orange County and serial entrepreneur, Sinha emphasizes businesses with a community focus by investing in people. In addition to the food and beverage industry, Sinha launched a Montessori school to help families and children with better access to quality education.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed establishing Anago of Orange County as a leading commercial cleaning franchise over the last three years,” said Sinha. “I knew coming in that this was a top cleaning franchising company, and my plans to expand to South LA is an exciting endeavor. I aim to take what we’ve built and accomplished in Orange County to more people and businesses. With a proven model as my foundation, I look forward to helping others realize small business ownership while increasing my involvement in nonprofit, community impact work.”

Sinha is deeply involved in his community and hopes to expand his philanthropic work into South LA County. Since establishing Anago operations in Orange County, Sinha has become active in the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce and recently was elected to its Board of Directors. He’s passionate about his community and works with several local nonprofits geared to community impact, including the Rotary Club and the Passkeys Foundation, dedicated to opening pathways and creating influence for good.

“We’re very proud of what Deepak has accomplished in Orange County since joining Anago in 2019,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “Deepak has mastered the skills and experience necessary to successfully establish and operate his franchise business and grow into new areas where competition is fierce, but demand is high – no small feat for a vast territory like Southern California. We’re excited to see Deepak continue our formula for success, expanding into LA County, and proud of the philanthropic attitude of giving back to his community to reach more people.”

Anago’s Success Built on Value, Strong Ethics

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems. Anago has earned top positions for several years in all the magazine’s central ranking systems. These include Fastest Growing Franchise, Top-Ranked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, and Top Global Franchise. Anago Cleaning Systems’ continued inclusion within these rankings demonstrates the brand’s rising popularity with franchisees and clients.

Leading Tire and Wheel Retailer Prepares to Plant Roots in DFW Market.

DALLAS — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the fastest-growing tire and custom wheel franchise in the nation, has recently finalized a 6-unit franchise agreement to roll out the award-winning concept throughout the market over the course of the next 5 years. These new locations will be owned and operated by the Clarke family, who boast 15 years of experience in the franchise sector and expect to open the first of the stores no later than May of 2023.

The Clarke family decided to invest in RNR Tire Express as a means to blend their passion for the automotive industry with a desire for independent business ownership. After learning that RNR could afford such an opportunity, pen was put to paper to finally bring the franchise to Dallas/Fort Worth for the first time in the brands history.

This endeavor has come at the perfect time for both the Clarke’s and the community, as they look forward to providing the residents of Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding areas with quality tires and custom wheels at an affordable price. Something consumers aren’t seeing much of across most economic markets these days.

“To bring the first ever RNR Tire Express to Dallas/Fort Worth means the world to us, as residents will finally have a place to go for quality, accessibility, and affordability,” the Clarkes said. “When we first spoke with the team at RNR, we were sold on its structure and dedication toward franchisees, which will translate into providing our local community with an unforgettable experience.”

Founded in 2000 by rent-to-own veteran Larry Sutton, RNR has carved out a unique niche in the tire and wheel industry with its convenient, no hassle payment plans that fit each customer’s budget. RNR offers and professionally installs high-quality tires and custom wheels to a growing market of underserved consumers and has established a business model that allows clients to pay off name brand tires and wheels on a weekly or monthly plan that is affordable to them.

“As the RNR brand continues to grow within the market over the coming years, we fully expect to shift the public’s standards for excellence in our field,” said Sutton, Founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. “More still, the success that the Clarke family achieves with these initial RNR venues will prime the surrounding areas for further investment down the road.”

For more information regarding RNR Tire Express and its franchise opportunities, please visit www.RNRfranchise.com.

About RNR Tire Express:

RNR Tire Express is a national franchise retailer of quality tires and custom wheels known for their customer-centric, flexible lease-to-own payment options. Established in 2000 by rent-to-own veteran, Larry Sutton, RNR has grown to 173 locations in 27 states. The brand ranked No. 237 in Franchise Times’ Top 500 list for 2022, and was also recognized by Inc. magazine as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Most recently, RNR was ranked No. 133 in Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2021 Franchise 500 ranking and #1 in the Tires and Wheels category.

The Barreras are open for business in the Biggest Little City in the World and plan to give back to their community through initiatives like blanket drives and fundraising in the future.

“With their passion for entrepreneurship and diverse business background, our DoodyCalls family is confident in the Reno franchise team’s future in scooping their neighborhood,” said Larry Amos, Vice President of DoodyCalls. “We are excited to welcome the Barreras into our franchise family and know their success in the Silver State is a sure bet.”
