Ben Hoskins, owner of You Move Me in Portland
Having had terrible experiences with moving companies here in Portland demonstrated to me that this is an industry that needs something different.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) August 09, 2013
For most people, junk removal and moving are at the top of the list of chores that ideally they would like to avoid doing themselves. For Portland entrepreneur, Ben Hoskins, he saw this as an opportunity to provide services that would take away the pain, stress and hassle that define these two tedious and laborious tasks.
Hoskins is the owner of Portland’s 1-800-GOT-JUNK? location as well as a newly launched moving company called You Move Me. For years now, he and his team have been relieving Portland homeowners of their junk and now are bringing a professionalized, reliable and customer focused approach to the local moving industry.
“1-800-GOT-JUNK? brought a level of professionalism that Portland’s junk removal industry had never seen before. I see a similar opportunity to do the same with the local moving industry as both are so fragmented and known for having poor levels of customer service”, says Ben Hoskins, owner of Portland’s 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and You Move Me locations. “Having had terrible experiences with moving companies here in Portland demonstrated to me that this is an industry that needs something different."
A few of the things that You Move Me is doing to separate themselves from the competition include a morning coffee service (because the coffeemaker has already been packed), free assembly/disassembly of your furniture and a housewarming plant for your new home at the end of your move.
You Move Me launched this year and is the first franchised company to roll out more than 25 individually-owned locations at one time, serving 40 million people throughout North America. Hoskin’s You Move Me and 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchises serve both Portland and Vancouver, WA.
