The Big Blue Boxes Story

It began with our family and an oversized shipping container that could protect people’s possessions.

It all started 25 years ago.

What started as Portable Storage of MN in 2001 grew steadily. We learned many people want to be able to ship their belongings across the country or keep them onsite. We also learned they didn’t always want a big box or one that’s blue.

Then we started to think outside the box.

Since establishing Big Blue Boxes, more members of our family have joined us, bringing new skills and perspectives. We’ve also added new capabilities, drivers and additional locations.

We take our commitment to the communities we serve seriously. Discover how we give back.

And we learned that more than anything, what mattered most was that we followed through on our promises and were responsive and accountable.

Today the boxes are a big part of what we do, but they’re not the most important part. It’s our people, and our dedication to your moving and storage needs. That’s our family’s promise. That’s the Big Blue Box way.
