TL;DR
Blue Kangaroo Packoutz has opened a new location in Huntington, West Virginia, owned and operated by business partners Jesse Lewis and Mark Ratliff. The location is part of the Blue Kangaroo Packoutz franchise, which is backed by BELFOR Franchise Group and focuses on restoring damaged and destroyed items after disasters.
The location opened last month, and is owned and operated by business partners Jesse Lewis and Mark Ratliff. After serving in the West Virginia Air National Guard for over 7 years, Lewis worked in an array of leadership and new business development roles while striving to operate his own business. Ratliff has a similar background and innate business acumen, and has spent the past few years developing his own brand at Amazon. In his spare time, Lewis enjoys playing sports with his kids, riding motorcycles, and volunteering with the Saints Prison Ministry’s softball team.
“Throughout my career, I have always gravitated towards leadership positions, and knew that I wanted to own and operate a business one day. As I looked into potential business opportunities, I had two main goals in mind: filling an untapped niche within my community and offering a service that provides meaningful aid to those in need,” said Jesse Lewis, owner of Blue Kangaroo Packoutz of River Cities. “This, combined with their compassionate, customer-first approach, is why Mark and I decided to go with Blue Kangaroo Packoutz.
The fact that BKP is also backed by BELFOR Franchise Group was an added bonus. We’re thrilled to build relationships within our community as local business owners who provide an essential service that is often overlooked.”
Whereas other businesses focus on restoring homes and business spaces after disaster strikes, Blue Kangaroo Packoutz is 100% dedicated to restoring the meaningful items that get damaged and destroyed during these disasters. The contents restoration company has a track record of restoring various sentimental items, from furniture and valuable artwork to precious photographs and other beloved family heirlooms. BKP also offers on-site contents services to reunite customers with their priceless belongings - one item at a time.
