## Story

LANSING, Mich. – TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is pleased to welcome its newest franchise in Ogden, Utah.

New franchisee Bijan Pishevar said he is thrilled to be a part of a storied franchise with a proven track record. Pishevar recently took over as minority owner of the existing TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in Salt Lake City and the new location in Ogden.

“After serving various roles in the moving industry, I was ready to launch my own business,” Pishevar said. “The professionalism of the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK brand is unparalleled. I look forward to expanding our footprint in the greater Salt Lake City area.”

Empire Franchise Group, a multi-unit franchisee based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the majority owner of Pishevar’s locations. Pishevar has worked as a general manager for Empire Franchise Group for the past three years. Prior to starting his career in the moving industry, Pishevar served in the U.S. Air Force as a medical laboratory technician. His tenure in the service taught him the leadership, discipline, and organizational skills he relies on as a business owner.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK President Randy Shacka said the new franchise location is a welcome addition to the Salt Lake City market.

“We’re pleased to expand our services to Ogden and are excited to support Bijan Pishevar as he grows the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK brand in Utah,” said Shacka. “Helping our franchisees achieve their dream of business ownership allows us to serve even more customers looking for top-notch professional moving services.”

Pishevar is making his mark on the Utah community by focusing on charitable outreach. The Ogden location recently completed Movers for Moms®, one of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s national giving programs. The location partnered with YCC Family Crisis Center and gathered 3,700 essential items to help mothers in need.
