It’s a well known fact that franchised businesses have an extremely high success rate but it doesn’t do any harm to have that extra bit of help.

Junk Hunters franchisees Vijay and Nelroy took the unusual step of having a priest ‘bless’ their truck at the start of their new business venture.

The business partners were joined by family and friends, who congratulated them on becoming Junk Hunters latest franchisees.

Vijay explained: “It is traditional within our culture to have a new business venture receive a blessing so we thought that we would carry that tradition on here. We both understand however that ‘divine intervention’ won’t grow our business. That will be down to our own efforts and the support of our franchisor. We look forward to the challenges ahead and making Junk Hunters a success.”
