Meet the Owner

Mike Stroud is one of the many proud and successful Junk King franchisees. He immediately liked and trusted the franchise founders. He felt this young industry was a great way to give back to the community. He purchased the Junk King Kansas City franchise in the fall of 2010 and has been providing the people of metropolitan Kansas City both in Kansas and Missouri with outstanding service.

Mike had goals for his junk removal business. He wanted to develop his crew members. He saw the opportunity to help them learn how Kansas City junk removal business actually works, how to interact face to face with customers, how to take on more responsibility, and how to create practical solutions to problems. He felt learning those values would better prepare them in their future careers. Another goal that Mike had was to create a junk removal company that provided excellent customer service. He says, If you do the basics well; show up on time, show respect, price reasonably and get the job done right and quickly, you will have a successful business. This model has worked well for Mike. He has a high percentage of repeat customers.

Although his business helps many customers with routine junk hauling like appliances and furniture, he is also good at working with commercial clients. These jobs include situations like tenants who have left assorted junk and clutter behind, disposal of remodeling and construction debris. Items removed include things like: trash removal, mattress disposal, refrigerator disposal & recycling, construction waste removal and garbage removal.

Mike spent most of his career as part of the executive team at J.D. Edwards Oracle and Data systems International. He had no experience in the junk industry prior to purchasing the franchise. But, with the great training he got from Junk King Franchise Systems and the practical day to day experience on the job, he has had an exciting time in the removal field. He says, My life’s experiences helped me to grow to understand the importance of “listening first, talking second” as the best approach to helping each client work through solutions to their issues.
