The portable self storage industry offers consumers a storage solution that is convenient to them and it offers investors a flexible franchise opportunity in a growing field with increasing demand.
Consumers want items delivered these days. It is evident in the rise of food-delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats and in the fall of brick-and-mortar retail businesses that have struggled to keep up in the age of Amazon doorstep delivery.
The portable self storage industry recognizes this change in consumer behavior and has evolved self storage to meet demand.
Rather than driving back and forth to a fixed-location storage unit, a portable container is dropped off wherever customers need it. They load it and it is picked up according to the customer’s schedule, then stored in an organized warehouse. The container and their belongings are stored safely until the customer orders on-demand delivery.
With UNITS Moving and Portable Storage, a state-of-the-art ROBO-UNIT delivers storage containers in the tightest of spaces, including narrow alleys, driveways and parking spaces. Once the container is filled, customers have the option to store their belongings in a secure, climate-controlled facilities.
Franchisors can take advantage of a business opportunity with flexibility that fits their individual lifestyles. Some UNITS partners prefer a semi-absentee model, spending as little as 10–15 hours per week on the business while a qualified manager oversees daily operations. Other franchisees remain hands-on and have a more traditional workweek.
UNITS franchisees also enjoy a simple business model with limited employee labor. Their investment is also backed with top-notch support from UNITS Franchise Group.
