How it started
Founded in 1997, Get Simple Box began as a high school project by Ross Black and has since flourished into a thriving family-run business. Ross sold his cherished 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback to fund the startup and was helped each step of the way by his father, Dave. It’s that same attitude of partnership, innovation and continuous improvement that fuels the growth today. Get Simple Box currently operates in 7 locations across 4 states and is positioned for further growth through franchising.
A Booming Self Storage Industry
People are moving, renovating, and seeking convenient storage options more than ever. The portable storage market has experienced consistent growth (steady in most years and rapid growth in others), with a projected value of $71.37 billion by 2027 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.65% from 2021 to 2027. Moreover, the market share concentration is low with the top contenders generating less than 40% of the industries revenue. With the demand increasing and the market share low, now may be the best time to begin your franchise ownership.Get Simple Box Offers a Proven Business Model
Get Simple Box is not just about providing containers; it’s about providing solutions. Over the last 27 years, Get Simple Box has refined and improved the way individuals move and store their belongings. Starting with a high school student’s senior class project and one location in Lynden, Washington, Get Simple Box has grown to 8 locations spanning 4 states. Our proven business model helps Franchise Partners start strong and grow steadily. With a support system that includes initial training, ongoing marketing, and weekly strategic assistance, we’re committed to helping each franchise partner feel connected in their journey. We help you navigate everything from perfecting your delivery process to developing a team and building your container rental fleet.The Franchise Advantage
Choosing our storage franchise may offer significant advantages compared to typical franchise models.- While royalty fees for most franchises range from 8-10%, the royalty fee with Get Simple Box is a competitive 5%.
- Initial franchise fees generally fall between $40,000 and $60,000, with total initial investments spanning from $400,000 to $1.2 million.
- A portable storage franchise allows you to add storage units one by one, rather than building out a warehouse all at once.
Comprehensive Support
When you join the Get Simple Box family, you’re not just getting a franchise; you’re gaining a partner. We provide comprehensive training to get you started, covering everything from the basics of the shipping container industry to advanced operational strategies. Our leadership team is committed to offering feedback, answering questions, and providing the resources you need to succeed. At GSB we run on EOS (the Entreprenurial Operating System), giving our Franchise Partners strong support from leadership in the form of weekly Level-10 meetings, a Vision/Traction Organizer, Quarterly goal-setting sessions, and an Annual planning workshop. We practice what we preach and we are committed to walking with our Franchise Partners each step of the way.Flexible Business Model
One of the best things about a Get Simple Box franchise is the flexibility it offers. While some storage concepts rely solely on fixed self-storage buildings or on a moving service, with Get Simple Box, we help you build a business that offers a diversified mix of shipping containers for sale, storage container rental, moving containers or even container modifications. You can tailor your business plan and the products you sell and the services you offer to meet the demands of your local market.Marketing and Branding
