Storage Wars: The Rise and Reign of UNITS Moving & Portable Storage

UNITS Moving & Portable Storage has been named the No. 2 portable storage company in Reviewed's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards, a recognition that underscores the company's growing reputation among consumers nationwide. The ranking reflects customer confidence in the brand's moving and storage solutions as well as the strength of its expanding franchise network. 

According to CEO Michael McAlhany, the achievement is the result of the collective efforts of franchise owners, drivers, office teams, and support staff across the organization. The award highlights the company's focus on helping customers navigate important life transitions through dependable service, local expertise, and operational consistency. 

UNITS provides portable moving and storage solutions for a wide range of customers, including homeowners, businesses, contractors, military families, and college students. Its business model combines locally owned franchise operations with the resources of a national network, allowing the company to maintain a community-focused approach while continuing to expand across the United States. 

The recognition arrives as the brand continues to strengthen its presence in existing and emerging markets. Company leadership has emphasized that local ownership remains a key differentiator, enabling franchise operators to deliver personalized service while maintaining the standards expected from a national brand. 

As franchise organizations grow, maintaining access to accurate operational information becomes increasingly important. Knowledge Base capabilities available through Gorilla Dash demonstrate how franchise systems can centralize training materials, operational procedures, and business resources in a single location. By making critical information easier to access, franchise networks can support consistency, improve onboarding, and strengthen execution across multiple locations.
