2003-2005: Founding & Our First Million
The company began in 2003 when Stephen and Brian started renting containers out of a spare bedroom in Stephen’s condo. The small team staged the containers in their friend’s front yard for $10 per container per month. In 2005, we reached a major milestone — $1 million in revenue!
