Pink Zebra is making moving fun
People will always be moving:
- Upsizing or downsizing
- Moving in/out with parents
- Moving in/out of apartments
- Businesses moving offices/locations
Pink Zebra is a new franchise with huge potential.
Moving is stressful. Pink Zebra Moving's goal is to make moving fun:
- Surprise dinner the night before
- Gift box filled with gifts & goodies
- Zebra-striped toilet paper in every 🚽
Employees are encouraged to sing, dance & make customers smile.
Background
Pink Zebra was founded by Ron Holt & David Luke.
Ron & David are franchise veterans. They started & scaled the "Two Maids & A Mop" cleaning franchise from 1 to over 100+ units nationwide. In 2021 Ron had a huge exit, selling Two Maids to a large franchise holding company.
They are taking the best practices from Two Maids to scale up Pink Zebra, which include:
- National sales center
- Employee recruitment
- Done-for-you marketing
- Corporate-run call center
Moving has a high average ticket (~$2k), plus it's a highly fragmented industry, which franchises love.
Earnings potential
Ron & Dave tried to buy an independent moving company, but no one wanted to sell, so they started their corporate location from scratch
In their first 12 months
- $678k revenue
- $116k operating income
- 17% net margin
The 2023 FDD provides an itemized P&L by month:
What is the top-line potential of a moving company?

Start-Up Costs (2023 FDD)
Single territory is $140k to $197k

They have an "all-in-one" financing option for the truck, franchise fees & working capital
You'll need a small office in an industrial area
