The Charlotte opening marks another step in Nyman's continued growth with Go Mini's. As the brand's multi-unit operator, Nyman has built a growing portable storage business across multiple markets in North Carolina – including Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem – as well as in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Texas. The offering will provide portable moving and storage containers for Charlotte residential and commercial customers. Containers can be used for local moves, home renovations, decluttering projects, business storage, restoration work, and other short- or long-term storage needs. Nyman first became interested in Go Mini's after seeing how portable storage could serve a wider customer base than traditional self-storage. While a typical storage facility often serves customers within a smaller radius, Go Mini's mobile model allows customers to have storage delivered directly to their driveway, business, job site, or project location. "Go Mini's stood out to me because it solves a real problem for customers in a very practical way," said Nyman. "People need storage during moves, renovations, business transitions, and unexpected life moments. Being able to bring the container directly to them makes the experience easier, and that convenience is what continues to drive demand in our markets." Nyman's business background spans several industries. After initially beginning in electrical engineering, he shifted into industrial engineering and business, building a career in B2B food ingredient sales after his father purchased a bankrupt food processing plant. He went on to start foodguys and later entered the real estate industry, which ultimately introduced him to storage and the Go Mini's concept. That mix of sales, operations, and real estate experience has shaped Nyman's approach to franchise growth. Across his Go Mini's portfolio, he has focused on building a strong foundation for growth through: - Customer service and a smooth rental experience from first inquiry to pickup - Online ordering and operational improvements that make the process easier for customers - Ongoing training and development for local teams - A strong focus on Google reviews and customer feedback - Local relationship-building through chambers of commerce and other community connections - Creative storage solutions for college towns, including helping collect and donate usable furniture students may otherwise leave behind Nyman's team places a strong emphasis on creating a smooth customer experience, from the first inquiry through delivery and pickup. In some college markets, the team has also found creative ways to support students and local communities by helping collect usable furniture and donate it back to those who need it. "Mark is the kind of franchise owner who understands both the customer experience and the operational side of the business," said Chris Walls, CEO and President of Go Mini's. "He has been aggressive about growth, but he has also stayed focused on building strong teams, improving the process for customers and learning from other operators across the system. That is exactly the kind of leadership that helps strengthen the Go Mini's brand." ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - unit expansion (topic) - franchise growth (topic) - Home Services (sector) - charlotte (location) - Go Mini's (company) - portable storage (topic) - Chris Walls (person) - Mark Nyman (person) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20260522_go_minis_franchisee_mark_nyman_expands_portable_storage_footprint_in_charlo.html).
