BungoBox Launches Gainesville

Orlando, Fla. (August 17, 2011) – BungoBox, an Orlando-based company that rents and delivers plastic moving boxes, announces the opening of its seventh franchise and its fourth in Florida.

The new franchise will be located in Gainesville and operated by new franchise owner, David Stockman, and will serve Alachua and Bradford counties. “From the moment we heard about the BungoBox concept we wanted to be involved,” David Stockman says. “It is exciting to be a part of a company that is offering an alternative to cardboard and is focused on lessening the impact on our environment.”

BungoBox rents the reusable plastic bins to save consumers time and money over traditional moving methods. The concept is simple: A BungoBox truck delivers the stackable moving boxes (a large box of about 2.5 cubic feet rents for $1.75 a week) to a customers’ doorstep. Once they’ve been unpacked, BungoBox picks them up at the new residence.

“We are thrilled to be breaking into the North Florida market,” says Tom Cannon, BungoBox co-founder and CEO. “Our growth in the Southeast has been tremendous; it’s very gratifying to see our franchise network pick up this kind of momentum.”
