Case Study: Scaling Without Square Footage

How a Holiday Decorating & Power Washing Franchise Grew—Without Growing Their Overhead

Background

A growing franchise in the Tri-State area offers power washing, soft washing, window cleaning, and professional holiday light installation for both residential and commercial clients. As a newer operation eager to expand, they quickly ran into a common issue: not enough space.

During the holiday season, their lighting and décor services took off. But when the season ended, they were left with thousands of lights and decorative pieces needing storage. Meanwhile, their spring and summer services required room for power washing equipment, chemicals, and supplies. Their warehouse simply couldn’t handle the load.

The Challenge

With limited space and two high-volume seasonal service lines, they needed a flexible, cost-effective storage solution—without the burden of expanding their real estate footprint or disrupting daily operations.

The Go Mini’s Solution

Go Mini’s delivered an immediate fix: a 20-foot portable container placed right at their warehouse. The team used it to store holiday lighting and decorations in the off-season, instantly freeing up critical space for equipment needed in warmer months.

As demand for their holiday services grew, so did their need for storage. One container turned into four fully loaded 20-foot Go Mini’s units. When not in use, all four containers are stored at Go Mini’s secure storage facility—keeping them accessible but completely out of the way until needed. This rotation between the job site, their warehouse, and off-site storage allows for smooth, seasonal transitions with zero disruption.

Key Benefits

• Freedom to Scale: Expanded service offerings without sacrificing space or overextending resources.
• On-Demand Flexibility: Containers could be delivered, relocated, or stored off-site whenever needed.
• Cost-Effective Growth: Avoided the high costs of leasing additional warehouse space.
• Inventory Readiness: Created room to stock more lights and gear—enabling them to serve more clients and take on larger jobs.

The Impact

What began as a single container quickly evolved into a scalable system. With Go Mini’s, the franchise grew both its holiday and year-round service offerings—without investing in additional real estate. Today, four Go Mini’s containers are a core part of their operation, securely stored off-site when not in use and rotated seamlessly into action with the seasons.

“Go Mini’s helped us grow without taking on the cost of more warehouse space. It’s a no-brainer for seasonal businesses.”
