Zippy Shell Mobile Self Storage Among Top Franchise Trends for 2011
12/22/2010
Entrepreneur Magazine and Entrepreneur.com have released their Top 10 Franchising Trends for 2010 – and Moving and Storage Services made that list. Named specifically within the category: Zippy Shell USA, LLC.
According to Entrepreneur.com, “Americans move, on average, every five years, and with the economy starting to recover, moving and storage businesses can expect their services to be in even more demand.”
Zippy Shell is a door-to-door self storage solution on wheels, which gives customers the option to store, declutter or move their goods seamlessly and securely. By providing the service inside a registered vehicle, Zippy Shell provides service to a broader range of customers, including those in the heart of a metro city, with greater security than other mobile self storage operators who rely on unregistered containers or boxes.
“Zippy Shellsm was born from a group of franchising industry veterans who saw a market need and are fulfilling it with a unique business opportunity,” said Rick Del Sontro, President, Zippy Shell USA, LLC. “The Zippy Shell brand demonstrated success across Australia and it was a viable model to be brought to the U.S. for several reasons – among them the opportunity for franchisees to leverage the shells themselves to generate brand awareness locally or to sell the space for ads and create an additional revenue stream”
“For investors, most importantly, we feel our offering is unmatched in the market. It means lower initial and ongoing capital requirements than our competitors, and gives access to our unique, proprietary distribution model.” continued Del Sontro. “For customers, it’s a secure and convenient solution that enables them to store and declutter without ever leaving their property. And, in today’s busy world, that makes a difference.“
Zippy Shell USA, LLC, a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA) and several trade organizations, has grown substantially over the past year, and now has a presence in or currently serves 25 markets across the United States including The Mid Atlantic States, Michigan, Georgia, South Florida, the SF Bay Area and Collin County, Texas.
Del Sontro concluded, “We’ve definitely seen an uptick in franchising interest across several major metros and expect continued expansion. Judging by the consumer and investor interest in our service, it was no surprise to see it emerge as a trend. Simply put, Zippy Shell USA, LLC. offers franchisees something fresh and affordable to investors looking to offer a truly unique approach in their local markets.”
