Leading moving company TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has enjoyed a busy start to 2012 for its U.S.-based operations that includes a new location in Idaho — its first for the state — as well as the signing of three new franchise agreements, the opening of four additional satellite offices, and the transfer of five stores to new ownership. The increased franchise development activity is a result of growing demand for the Company’s local-and-long distance moving services. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® currently operates 224 locations in 34 states and has grown 33% during the past two years. The company is averaging 19% growth year-to-date in 2012.
New franchise locations include: Jefferson Parish, La., operated by Billy and Janie Rippner; Denton County, Texas, operated by longtime franchisee Kyle Norcutt; and Boise, Idaho, operated by Terry Bruns. The new Texas location marks the 13th store for Norcutt.
The Company has also added four new satellite offices, including Austin, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; Panama City, Fla., and Westchester, N.Y.
