Tom and Frank Sullivan: Bringing TWO MEN AND A TRUCK to Southwest Georgia

We’ve both worked in health care for a long time and are staying in our current careers. We’ve hired a great team to manage the day-to-day, but we’re still involved as owners and plan to stay very close to the business to make sure it’s a success. I’ve been in health care administration for about 31 years, and in our service area we saw a clear need for a professional, insured moving company. The market was ready.

My background is also in health care, more specifically in sales. That experience taught me how important customer service is. That’s something we’re focused on bringing to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK — building a customer-centric culture and a team that’s united around that goal.

We live in a rural area, and I’ve always wanted to create opportunities for our families and our community. When we came across TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and started doing our research, it became clear that their mission aligned with ours. They want to build something meaningful — and so do we.

Owning your own business is part of the American Dream. We wanted to bring value to our own lives, but also to our customers and the broader community. We’re from Albany, and it’s always been a dream of mine to help invest back into the area and create jobs for people here.

What really sold us was the family-oriented focus of the brand. That’s at the core of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s story — and as two brothers going into business together, it felt like the perfect fit.

We joke it should be called TWO BROTHERS AND A TRUCK in our case! The brand is also incredibly well-ranked in the franchise world. They’re consistently in the top 50 across all concepts — and that’s a reflection of how well-run the company is from top to bottom.

We’re planning a ribbon-cutting with the local chamber soon, and we’re excited about the long-term potential here. There’s a real opportunity for growth and job creation. We look forward to serving the communities of Valdosta, Albany, Tifton, Moultrie, and Thomasville for years to come.

The community response has already been overwhelming — we’re getting inquiries and calls before we’ve even officially opened. Long term, we want to open a second dispatch office to expand our reach. We’re also exploring other franchise opportunities within the broader ServiceMaster system.

We’re a very close-knit family, so getting to spend more time together and build something together — personally and professionally — is really special.

We both grew up here, and our reputation means everything to us. We want people to know they can trust us to provide a high-quality service because we love this community and we’re proud to serve it.

There’s a lot of work involved in preparing to open a franchise, but it’s been worth it so far. The foundation you build at the start really matters.

Be prepared to learn. The logistics side has been a big learning curve for me. But if you stay curious, hire people who want to grow, and talk to other franchisees to understand their journey, you’ll be in a much stronger position to succeed.
