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.
