Go Mini's

Go Mini’s franchises provide portable container-based storage and moving services using the proprietary Go Mini’s system and trademark. Franchisees deliver, store, and transport containers for customers including homeowners preparing for moves, renovations, or recovery from disasters like fires or floods. The business operates in the relatively new mobile container sector that emerged in the early 2000s, with an optional 'Go Mini’s Miles' program for inter-location shipping.

Data Based On: 96 franchised outlets open for business for at least 12 months in the period ending December 31, 2024, across 51 reporting franchisees.

* Average gross revenue was calculated as a weighted average of the 'Average Gross Sales' for each franchisee category, weighted by the 'Number of Reporting Franchisees' in each category: ((6 * $922,339) + (13 * $423,554) + (32 * $258,353)) / 51 total franchisees = $378,579.06. Median gross revenue is derived from the median of the segment containing the overall median franchisee. With 51 reporting franchisees, the median is the 26th franchisee. This falls into the 'Franchisees with 1 Franchise Territory' category, which has a stated median gross sales of $229,516. Revenue top quartile is taken as the 'Average Gross Sales' of the highest-earning segment ('Franchisees with 4-7 Franchise Territories'). Revenue bottom quartile is taken as the 'Average Gross Sales' of the lowest-earning segment ('Franchisees with 1 Franchise Territory'). No data was provided for net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense information, as explicitly stated in Note 3, 'There is no reduction for operating costs or expenses'. Therefore, all profit-related fields are set to null.
