TWO MEN AND A TRUCK

If any brand understands the value of providing prospective franchisees with different business models from which to choose, it’s<a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=two-men-and-a-truck-offers-standard-and-mini-market-options-for-franchise-prospects-to-enter-at-the-right-price-and-territory-2713857" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®</a>. The nation’s leading moving franchise company, which has more than 380 locations and 3,000 trucks operating in 44 U.S. states, Canada, Ireland and the U.K., offers two viable franchise models: the Standard franchise model and the Mini-market.The biggest difference between the two has to do with population size. The Standard franchise model serves an average population of 425,000 and requires two to three trucks and eight to 10 movers and drivers. The startup costs for a Standard franchise range from $179,000 to $585,000.The<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck/two-men-and-a-truckr-successfully-introduces-new-mini-market-model-to-expand-in-smaller-territories-11243"> Mini-market franchise model, which was first available for sale in 2016</a>, typically serves populations between 125,000 and 225,000. Franchisees who have Mini-markets can start off with one to two trucks and three to four movers and drivers. The startup costs for a Mini-market franchise range from $100,000 to $192,000.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck"> TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®</a> currently has seven Mini-market franchises in operation.“The Mini-market franchise model is a great way to provide more opportunities for business ownership at a lower investment range,” Franchise Development Specialist Cheryl Ackley said. “Franchisees who opt for the Mini-market model still offer the full range of services of a Standard market model, including packing, unpacking and local, long-distance and interstate moves, storage and junk removal.”Regardless of which franchise model prospective franchisees choose, they will all benefit from top-notch corporate support.“TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has seen franchisees from every walk of life join our system,” Ackley said. “It’s helpful if they come in with a business background, but it’s not necessary. The corporate team offers so much support that if a franchisee has more challenges in a specific area, we have the people and infrastructure in place to support them in that area.”The moving franchise also offers all new franchisees access to the brand’s First Gear Team, whose members walk the new franchisee all the way through the opening of their location and help with matters such as insurance, acquiring uniforms, equipment and more. The First Gear Team also brings in subject matter experts in areas such as accounting, human resources, sales and compliance to assist the franchise with opening tasks.“Members of the First Gear Team all have franchise experience in different capacities and provide franchisees with a wealth of information to get them rolling in their markets,” Ackley said.One TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchisee who opted to purchase a Standard franchise model is Juan Gallegos. He opened the brand’s first El Paso, Texas location in March 2020. He knew he wanted to open his franchise in a market that had the possibility for further expansion, as well as additional territories nearby he could serve.He lauded the leadership team’s strong franchisee support.“Thanks to the support the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Home Office provides, especially when it comes to training, franchise owners can tackle any kind of market,” Gallegos said. “You’re not left to fend for yourself. You get so much support on a personal level. There are daily phone calls, one-on-one visits and other helpful resources. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® provides a good, family-oriented experience when you franchise.”Gallegos is especially appreciative of<a href="https://1851franchise.com/a-conversation-with-randy-shacka-and-curtis-newman-of-two-men-and-a-truckr-2712795#people"> the support the brand has provided during COVID-19, which includes increased communication</a>.“The Home Office is ahead of the game,” he said. “They’ve provided franchisees with daily updates and have made us feel comfortable about the situation and gave us whatever help we needed to get the job done. The support is pretty phenomenal.”Franchisee Dylan Southward, along with his business partners, owns and operates the brand’s Albuquerque franchise, which is a Standard franchise, as well as the Santa Fe franchise, which is a Mini-market that first opened in April 2019. Southward, who was an employee of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® for five years before he became a franchise owner, touted the financial benefits of the Mini-market franchise model.“Mini-markets require a significantly lower franchise fee and upfront costs,” he said. “You also have fewer employees and lower insurance costs. You can start out small and expand depending on demand.”Like Gallegos, Southward lauded the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® leadership team.“The Home Office is there for franchisees 24/7,” Southward said. “From<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck/qa-with-president-of-two-men-and-a-truckr-randy-shacka-2711865#franchisor"> President Randy Shacka</a> to the founders, to the department heads, they’re all available for franchisees to pick their brains.”By providing prospective franchisees with two viable paths to franchise ownership and strong leadership support for both models, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® ensures it attracts candidates who are excited about the business opportunity and eager to serve their markets.To learn more about franchising with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, visit<a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=two-men-and-a-truck-offers-standard-and-mini-market-options-for-franchise-prospects-to-enter-at-the-right-price-and-territory-2713857" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/</a>.&nbsp;
