Meet the Owner

Hagen Kern is the owner of Junk King Chicago Downtown. He knew he wanted to be self-employed and be able to use his background in logistics and finance to set up his business goals. After researching several franchises, he chose Junk King. Junk King has a very scalable business model, is part of a growing industry, and focuses on customer service, and green ways of removing junk. This business model appealed to Hagen. He joined the franchise and opened his business in April of 2016.

Using the Junk King model, Hagen built his Chicago Junk Removal business from a one to a fourtruck operation in a very short period so he can meet the needs of his customers. He provides services to residential customers by hauling items like: appliances, furniture, mattresses, televisions, refrigerators/freezers, e-waste, and construction waste. He says, “Our customers are usually in a hurry and need to clean out a big space in a very short amount of time.” He observed that they have accumulated stuff but do not have the time, energy, or resources to remove it safely. Junk King Chicago Downtown also has numerous commercial clients. Chicago is always changing so contractors need his speedy, friendly service to quickly get rid of construction debris. Retail stores always have a continuing need to get rid of excess rubbish. Hagen also has repeat callbacks from government agencies for trash removal. Anyone who needs to free up any sort of space and cannot do it by themselves, or within a needed timeframe, call Junk King Chicago Downtown at 1-888-888-5865 (JUNK) today or book online.
