Despite Soaring Gas Prices, Local Mover Expands in Twin Cities
Strategic Growth and Operational Efficiency Drive College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving Forward.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As rising gas prices strain transportation-dependent industries, College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving is accelerating its expansion across the Twin Cities, driven by steady population growth and increased demand for relocation services.
“The Twin Cities continues to attract new residents, and that’s fueling consistent demand,” said Ryan Spille, owner of a local College HUNKS franchise. “While gas prices are a headwind, they haven’t slowed our momentum. With disciplined operations and a focus on efficiency, we’re scaling in a sustainable way.”
Spille’s path to entrepreneurship was anything but conventional. After five years as a corporate attorney at a large Chicago firm, he left his career to pursue something more fulfilling. Weeks later, he discovered College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving and opened his New Brighton franchise in November 2021. The company’s emphasis on building leaders helped solidify his decision.
“It’s about helping our team set goals, face challenges, and develop the habits that move them forward. I love building something that people are grateful for,” Spille said.
Now, with expansion underway, Spille is navigating rising fuel costs through careful planning and oversight.
“We’re intentional about how we manage fuel, from tracking usage in the field to minimizing waste,” he said. “That discipline allows us to stay efficient and keep growing, even as costs fluctuate.”
College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving—short for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable, Service—has grown to nearly 200 locally owned franchises nationwide. The company also prioritizes social impact: for every job completed, two meals are donated to U.S. Hunger, totaling more than five million meals to date. Additionally, items collected are recycled or donated whenever possible, reducing landfill waste and supporting local nonprofits.
