About 1-800-PACKRAT

1-800-PACK-RAT franchise opportunities offer a rare chance to participate in the revolutionizing of an industry. Applicants are preferred to have current or previous ownership and operating experience of multi-unit service operations in their desired market. Franchising experience is strongly preferred.

Our development partners must also have access to capital sufficient to fund the development of the market area they choose. We currently grant exclusive territories to developers of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Depending on the size of a particular MSA, it may contain multiple exclusive territories and therefore the minimum net worth requirements varies from market to market. Regional developers must have substantial familiarity with the market proposed for development and be willing to develop multiple units over a period of time. In addition, they must be willing to diligently exert full-time best efforts in performing their obligations under the Regional Development Agreement.
