Bob Eales, owner of four Florida PODS moving and storage franchises, makes 'giving back' a part of corporate business model
Online, January 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Using his own budget, trucks, fuel and employees, Bob Eales, franchise owner of four PODS moving and storage franchises located along Florida's Atlantic coastline, saved nonprofits more than $75,000 in logistics costs in 2011.
Since opening his doors in 2000, Eales has made supporting the community a vital part of his business. Some of the organizations PODS supports throughout the year are the Junior League of Jacksonville, Halifax Habitat for Humanity Restore, the Salvation Army of Melbourne, the Brevard Zoo, the Treasure Coast Food Bank and Toys for Tots.
"I have structured my business so that supporting local nonprofit organizations is a priority," said Eales. "There is nothing more gratifying than knowing your company is able to help other people right in the very same communities you serve."
The donated PODS® containers and moving and storage services have allowed the more than 40 local nonprofits in Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Port St. Lucie and Melbourne to more efficiently serve the community. For more information about PODS, go to www.pods.com.
