The company's systemwide sales are up compared to the prior six-month period a year ago, with franchisees ordering additional container inventory to meet rising demand.

## Story

The Fort Myers, Florida-based company reported that for the first six months of this year, it opened five new locations and signed five new franchise agreements. Go Mini’s now has 112 locations in 41 states, along with Canada and Mexico.

While Go Mini’s did not provide specific financial figures, the company also said systemwide sales are up compared to the prior six-month period a year ago with franchisees ordering additional container inventory to meet rising demand. This includes Go Mini’s “best in class” 20-foot container.

“Our goal has never been to just put pins on a map,” said Chris Walls, president and CEO of Go Mini’s. “We want to partner with the highest-quality franchisees who are committed to serving their customers well and building strong, sustainable businesses. That focus on quality over speed is what continues to strengthen our system, both in the markets where we’ve operated for years and in the new markets we’re entering.”

New openings this year include Charlotte and Wilmington, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas.

The brand said its growth reflects ongoing demand for portable storage solutions in both established and emerging markets. At the same time, current multi-unit franchise operators are reinvesting by adding territories and entering new markets.

In May, Go Mini’s announced that franchisee Mark Nyman was opening a new location in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nyman is the largest Go-Mini’s multi-unit operator with his latest location offering containers for moving, storage, renovation, and restoration needs.

Nyman also has operations in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, along with Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Texas. According to Go Mini’s, Nyman is continuing to pursue additional expansion opportunities. “Some of our strongest growth comes from franchisees who already know the business and want to expand,” said Walls.

“When experienced operators reinvest in additional territories, it’s a sign that the model works and that our support systems are helping them succeed. That kind of confidence from within our own system is one of the best indicators of where the brand is headed.” Go Mini’s was founded in 2022 and began franchising in 2012.
