“Palm Beach Franchise Owners Defy Stereotypes.”
It’s easy to stereotype the individuals who own Junk King hauling and recycling franchises. For those who grew up watching Sanford and Son, junk haulers are imagined as being eccentric, comical sorts without anything approaching business sophistication. Oh, how wrong can those stereotypes be? David Archer, with a MBA in business, spent most of his career as a marketing executive with high-powered companies including Kraft Foods, the Pillsbury Company, and Bausch & Lomb. His wife and co-owner of the new Palm Beach franchise, Toni has a MS in education and specialized in curriculum, instruction, classroom management, etc. Add to that equation, David’s marketing of three Olympics—Albertville, France 1992, Lillehammer, Norway 1994, and Atlanta in 1996, the couple certainly seems well-prepared to carry the torch into any new venture. David Archer may in fact be an expert in torch-carrying since he has officially acted as an Olympic torch carrier in two different Olympics.
David and Toni are both natives of the New York City metropolitan area. They have three grown children. David is a Viet Nam vet who will utilize 40 years of global marketing into his new, local business. “I tried semi-retirement,” he says, “but quickly got bored. This franchise allows me the ability to build something based on my own energy while I’ll eventually have the freedom to enjoy some of the benefits of living in Florida.”
Junk King was founded out of a garage in 2005 by two childhood friends in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since then the company has grown to over 50 franchises. Each local owner is on board with the company’s green business model. Over 60% of the items collected are either recycled or donated to charity. In addition, being founded in Silicon Valley has led to a company that is one of the most innovative in their field. Junk King revolutionized green hauling, and takes full advantage of internet marketing, an easy-to-navigate website, and customer loyalty. The reviews for the firm that boasts fast and full-service are consistently the highest not only for junk hauling, but for any business.
The Archers, with their diverse skills, will surely make a success with their new franchise in the Palm Beach area.
