Rick Del Sontro, President of Zippy Shell USA said. “We have long wanted to plant a flag in the Seattle market. Seattle is the 12th largest metropolitan market in the U.S. The key was to find the right person to build the brand in this highly unique market. DJ has some very strong skills that will no doubt help him build a business that consumers will love. The demographics of this market are perfect for our business model.”

According to Johnson, “Seattle is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. The demand for storage here is unprecedented and Seattle residents are looking for ways to simplify their lives.” The Zippy Shell service provides that simplicity for both storage and moving.”
