Zippy Shell USA Opens First Corporate Owned Location; Plans Additional Expansion by Years-End

This is a very exciting time for the Zippy Shell brand! Zippy Shell USA has announced the opening of its first corporate owned franchise, serving the Washington, DC and Maryland Metro Area.

Washington, DC (I-Newswire) October 18, 2012 - Zippy Shell USA, LLC, (“Zippy Shell”) one of the fastest growing mobile self storage and moving franchise companies in the U.S. announced that it has opened its first corporate owned location serving Washington DC and the Maryland Metro Area. This location will be the first of many that will be owned and operated by Zippy Shell USA as part of its franchise system.

“This is a very exciting time for us at Zippy Shell, USA. We have been introducing entrepreneurs to our business model and the system we have built for the past several years, and knowing that storage demand continues to increase and the supply of available storage has not kept pace, we decided that is was time for us to operate locations on our own”. We can do this by leveraging the same great tools and systems that are already in place to support our current franchisees” said Rick Del Sontro, President of Zippy Shell, USA.

The Zippy Shell brand, which launched its franchise operations in 2010, has now expanded to more than 40 markets within the USA. With self storage services voted as the best value solution in the market by consumers, Zippy Shell franchisees provide self storage and moving services that combine convenience and affordability.

According to Javier Parraga, CEO of Zippy Shell USA, “The business model is compelling and we have total confidence that we provide the best value solution for customers. With this in mind, we made the decision to begin growing our own operations. We will function precisely like all other franchises. We will pay the same initial fees, royalty fees and ongoing expenses as all of our franchisees. Furthermore, we plan to make a significant investment into our brand marketing and brand building efforts. In the end, it’s all about letting the customers know about our service”.

The Zippy Shell system is an intelligent, simple, and upscale storage solution for residential and commercial customers. With the Zippy Shell service, a container is delivered to a customer in a street registered "Zippy Shell" which provides much greater flexibility than other mobile self storage solutions. Zippy Shell's service makes storage a much simpler and stress free process.
