Founded in 2004, UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage is a proudly American-owned company that focuses on delivering flexible moving and storage solutions. With its headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina, UNITS® expanded into franchising by 2005 and now serves customers in more than 500 cities across North America.
The brand is known for offering clean, secure, and climate-controlled storage facilities that are both accessible and reliable. UNITS® specializes in providing durable, weather-resistant storage containers that are delivered straight to the customer’s doorstep, ready to be packed at their convenience.
What sets UNITS® apart in the industry is its cutting-edge ROBO-UNIT delivery system. This advanced technology enables the precise placement of containers in tight or challenging spaces while maintaining a level position during loading and unloading.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage provides a structured and multi-level training program to prepare franchisees for running their business successfully. Here’s a summary of the training programs:
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage grants franchisees a Protected Territory, typically made up of contiguous ZIP codes with a minimum population of 300,000, and larger tiers going up to 1.2 million people.
Within this territory, no other UNITS businesses will be established, and franchisees retain their rights even if the population grows. Franchisees may serve customers outside their territory only with prior written consent, and they must stop advertising in areas sold to another franchisee if notified.
While franchisees enjoy protection within their territory, UNITS retains broad rights to sell products and services through other channels, including national and regional accounts, online sales, and affiliate operations.
