It is always exciting when hard work gets noticed. Here at Go Mini’s, our goal is simple: to provide the best portable storage and moving solutions we can while supporting the local franchise owners who make our service great.

With that in mind, we’re thrilled to share that 2026 is off to an incredible start. This month, Go Mini’s has been recognized by both Franchise Business Review and Newsweek, highlighting not just how great our containers are, but also how strong and reliable our entire team is.

Here is a closer look at what these recognitions mean and why they matter to the people we serve every day.

Go Mini's: A Top 200 Franchise

We are proud to announce that Franchise Business Review has named Go Mini’s on its Top 200 Franchises list for 2026!

Unlike many industry rankings that look only at financial performance or unit growth, Franchise Business Review bases its list on franchisee satisfaction. They survey thousands of franchise owners across North America to find out how they really feel about the brand they represent.

What This Means for You

When our franchise owners are happy and feel supported, they can put all their focus on you, the customer. Being named a Top Franchise means:

Strong Local Leadership: Our locations are run by passionate owners who care about their business and their community.
Consistent Quality: High satisfaction among owners leads to better operational standards and reliable service for you.
A Commitment to Service: Franchisees who feel valued by the corporate team are more likely to pass that value on to their customers through exceptional service.

This proves that our "partners, not just franchisees" philosophy is working. When you rent a Go Mini, you’re not dealing with a faceless corporation; you’re working with a local business owner backed by a supportive national network.

Newsweek Readers' Choice Nomination

On top of our franchise recognition, we’re honored to be in the running for Newsweek’s “Best Storage Container Companies of 2026.”

This nomination is part of Newsweek’s Readers' Choice Awards, where industry experts select the nominees and readers get to vote for their favorites. It’s a huge compliment to be included with other major players in the industry.

Why Go Mini’s Was Selected

According to the nomination, Go Mini’s was chosen for several key factors that set us apart:

Flexibility: We deliver containers directly to homes and job sites, with multiple sizes to fit what you need. Whether you're renovating, moving, or just decluttering, we bring the storage right to your doorstep.
Community Impact: The nomination specifically mentioned our responsiveness during critical times. For example, during recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene, Go Mini’s teams were on the ground supplying containers to help collect and distribute relief supplies.
Local Relationships: We aim to be a steady community presence rather than a "one-size-fits-all" provider.

Being recognized for our flexibility and community service is especially meaningful to us. We know that moving and storing belongings can be a stressful part of life, so we’ve designed our services to be as convenient and helpful as possible.

What Sets Go Mini's Apart

These recognitions shine a spotlight on the things we do differently. If you’re new to Go Mini’s, here’s a quick look at why customers and franchise owners alike value our service:

1. Superior Container Design

Our containers are built to protect your belongings and make your life easier.

Powder-Coated Steel Construction: Our containers are built tough with powder-coated steel to protect your belongings from the elements.
Ventilation: Each container is designed with proper airflow to reduce moisture and humidity, keeping your items safe, even in long-term storage.
Easy Access: We use 8-inch clearance wheels that are gentle on your driveway, and our containers are low to the ground for easy loading—no steep ramps required.

2. More Size Options

We are one of the few providers that offer a 20-foot container, perfect for larger moves or big renovation projects. This often saves you the cost and hassle of renting multiple smaller containers. We also offer 12-foot and 16-foot options to fit projects of any size.

No matter which size you choose, our unique delivery system requires only 6 inches of clearance on each side, compared to the 2 feet required by larger competitors. This means you’ll have more flexibility when it comes to placing your container exactly where you need it.

3. Convenience on Your Schedule

We don’t believe in rushing you.

We Deliver: We’ll drop off the container right where you need it.
You Pack: Take all the time you need to load your belongings. There are no tight deadlines here.
We Move or Store: Once you’re ready, we can move the container to your new home or store it at one of our secure local facilities.
