Thriving franchise brand prepares for rapid expansion in southern California with new office.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, a world-class moving services franchise with 306 locations across the U.S., has selected Pasadena, Calif., as the home of its new secondary corporate location. The Pasadena office will join the original corporate headquarters in Lansing, Mich., as a hub for the brand’s extensive Southern California expansion plans. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® aims to open 15 additional locations in Southern California over the next three years. The new office headquarters, located at 15507 Arrow Highway in Irwindale, will begin operating May 1, 2015.
To navigate this growth, the company has hired former COO Matt Cutler as its new West Coast Development Consultant. After being with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® for 13 years, helping grow the franchise from 40 locations to more than 240 locations, Cutler moved to Florida with his family but is now rejoining the brand to help expand the brand presence in California. The corporate team is planning to utilize the flagship Pasadena office for their franchisee recruitment and for regional training purposes for current franchisees.
“I know the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® brand inside and out, and I’m honored to be re-joining such a passionate team that is committed to building a solid future and is dedicated to the success of everyone involved,” said Cutler. “As the liaison between Home Office and the new company store, I hope to expand our franchise reach in the entire state of California by overseeing the addition of 45 new locations.”
Cutler will also be charged with awarding new locations in Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona to help the western region’s performance and play a key part in the overall growth of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® in the years to come. New team members have already been hired for the Pasadena location, including three new managers who will help facilitate running the new office and making future hires.
With a focus on current expansion objectives, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is looking to open in both new and developing markets. The brand currently boasts 330 U.S. and international locations and will be working toward 365 open locations by the end of 2015, with 30 of those deals taking place within the U.S.
“Our family of franchisees is one of the strongest in the industry, and with our scalable and successful model, we’re embarking on an unprecedented growth phase on the West Coast,” said Sorber. “In order to continue performing at an optimal level, we will keep investing in our company for sustainable growth and do what is best for our corporate staff, our franchisees and our customers.”
