History

The initial concept of Bellhop was as a moving service for college students moving in and out of dorms. The company began moving college students during Auburn University's three-day freshman orientation weekend.[4] It expanded to other college campuses the following year and also began servicing moves for off-campus apartments and homes, as well as servicing non-university customers.[5]

Bellhop exclusively hires college students. To become a bellhop, applicants must be at least 18 years old and currently enrolled in college, in addition to being physically able and strong.[1] As of November 2018, Bellhop was serving 31 cities across 13 states, ranging from Arizona to Pennsylvania to Florida.[6] Chattanooga mayor Andy Berke praised the company for "changing the way people think about moving".[6]
