TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s Business Heats Up During the Summer Months

For TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, the weather isn’t the only thing that’s heating up this summer. With more consumers packing their belongings into boxes and moving to a new home, business for the brand is climbing at an impressive rate.

“Our business literally doubles in the summer, and our sales goals are up 100 percent,” said Steve Barton, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s general manager in Columbus, Ohio. “We’re having a historical year — at the rate we’re going, our franchise will hit the million-dollar mark in August.”

Summer is the busiest moving season for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchisees all over the country. The weekend that started on June 24 saw $5.3 million in sales and more than 5,000 moves alone — that’s three moves every minute during standard business hours. And the brand is continuing to build on that strong momentum.

“We really make the most of the busy summer moving months. It isn’t just about capitalizing on the business that’s happening right now and in the moment — our local owners really focus on building long-term relationships with their customers and communities that ultimately lead to more moves and growth opportunities down the line,” said Noelle Burak, franchise development manager for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®.

That commitment to brand development — on both the local and corporate level — is what makes TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® stand out as the moving company to beat. Even industry professionals are taking note of the brand’s impressive business model — TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® was recently ranked by Forbes as one of the best franchises.

With an average initial investment of $332,500, a five-year franchise continuity rate of 96 percent and a five-year franchisee growth rate of five percent, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® rounded out the publication’s list of the top 10 franchises to buy with a medium level of investment. Forbes worked with FRANdata to compile this year’s list of the best franchising opportunities, noting the brands that made the cut provide innovative products and services along with creative marketing.

As summer begins to wind down and TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® moves into the second half of 2016, the brand will continue to leverage its position at the forefront of the moving industry.

“TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s busy summer is a sign of what’s to come for the rest of the year,” said Burak. “By bringing new franchisees into our proven system and providing our customers with the highest quality service in the industry, we’ll continue to distinguish ourselves from the competition.”
