Zippy Shell USA (“ZSA” or the “Company”) represents a disruptive business and operating model within the mobile self storage and moving industries, providing an innovative, efficient, high-quality, proprietary mobile storage and moving platforms that offer significant economic and operating advantages over competing technologies such as those of industry pioneers PODS® and 1-800-PACK RAT®.
The Zippy Shell System fully addresses the requirements of changing consumer preferences within the moving and storage industry and has the potential to be a game-changing offering. The System, compared to other systems:
- Has lower upfront and maintenance capital requirements and variable operating costs;
- Offers a potentially dramatically higher return on capital invested in franchises;
- Provides a superior or competitive product and service offering;
- Allows franchisees to compete on price or achieve profitability at lower customer volumes while maintaining superior profit margins; and
- Can improve the revenue potential of a territory given that it is easier to deliver to consumers in challenging, heavy vehicle restricted locations.
Additional benefits of the System for franchisees include:
- An additional revenue stream through the sales of advertising on the trailer,
- The ability to make faster drop-offs and being able to serve market areas that are off limits to competitors due to restrictions prohibiting the placing of unregistered containers on the street,
- The ability to employ drivers that are not required to have a class “C” license and lower-cost driver labor, thereby eliminating the need for specialized training of employees and reducing the cost of turnover; and
- Reduced risk of accidents due to the simplicity and standardization of equipment being employed.
Investment Amount- $250,000
