History
Campus Bellhops was started by Stephan Vlahos and Cameron Doody. In the summer of 2011, they promoted their service at Auburn University's FreshMen orientation and in a welcome book that went out to all students . Though they aimed to schedule 30-40 moves from their efforts, they managed 250 moves during a three-day weekend . The following January, Vlahos began working for Campus Bellhops full-time, and they hired eight Campus Directors at eight of the largest Southeastern Conference schools . These directors in turn hired student bellhops to help perform moves. Vlahos connected with the Lamp Post Group, a venture capital firm in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Campus Bellhops was officially headquartered in Chattanooga. On February 1, 2014, Campus Bellhops rebranded to the name Bellhops, after their business had expanded beyond college dorm moving services.
