About the Business
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The next closest moving company is 1 hour 20 minutes away in Sioux Falls. Tobin's Transfer and Storage is the only moving company in the central part of SD, making them the go-to for moving needs.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The owners currently have contracts and relationships with area businesses for their moving needs, but a new owner could widely expand on this. With no other moving companies in the area, expanding across SD would be a great option. Buyer could consider also purchasing the storage units currently being sold separately for additional revenue
