Products & Services

Big Box Storage a franchise opportunity from Franchise Genius

Storage made convenient! Big Box Storage offers residents of cities and towns throughout the United States a storage service like no other. Our unique storage concept allows our customers to fulfill their storage needs without ever having to leave their home or business. Simply put, we bring the storage container (an 8' x 5' x 7' Big Box) to the customer, they load their belongings into the container, and we then pick up the container for storage in one of our secure, centrally-located facilities. Of course, customers may also access their belongings 7 days a week at our facilities. Big Box Storage - pack it at your place, store it at ours!

In 2002, we first set in motion our efforts to provide storage renters with an alternative to "traditional" self-storage. From our initial facility in San Diego, CA, we have continued the expansion of our portable storage services via additional company-owned facilities as well as franchise outlets. Central to all of our efforts has been our customers. Often in the midst of a hectic time in their lives, such as a move, our clients have come to expect a consistently high level of service from our staff.

For those clients undertaking long-distance moves, we're also pleased to offer shipping services in which they may have their rented Big Box(es) shipped directly to other U.S. metropolitan areas and then delivered right to their new address within the destination area.

We truly hope that you'll allow us the opportunity to assist you with your storage and moving needs. Whether you're seeking a short term storage solution or extra space for an indefinite period of time, Big Box Storage will undoubtedly prove to be your most convenient storage option.

The ongoing royalty fee is 6% of adjusted gross sales. For a Big Box Storage territory, it's estimated that you will need to invest a minimum of approximately $800,000 throughout the franchise's initial two years of operation.
