## Story

Go Mini's is reporting steady franchise development momentum through the first half of 2026, highlighted by five new franchise agreements, five new location openings, and continued expansion into new markets across the country.

The brand continued to add franchise locations in the first half of the year, with its growth coming from existing franchisees adding additional territories across 41 U.S. states. Systemwide sales are up compared to the same period last year, continuing a pattern of steady, sustainable growth for the brand. Its franchisees are also ordering additional container inventory to ensure they can meet the rising demand, especially for their best in class 20-foot container.

Under the leadership of CEO and President, Chris Walls, the brand has stated an emphasis on attracting high-quality franchisee candidates and multi-unit growth with existing franchisees rather than simply adding locations. This approach shapes the development strategy through the first half of 2026, as Go Mini's continues to prioritize partners who can strengthen market density and deliver a customer experience in both existing and new territories.

“Our goal has never been to just put pins on a map,” said Walls. “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.”
