Mark Kuhns leads 1-800-PACK-RAT and Zippy Shell, companies built around portable, weatherproof steel storage containers that offer a middle ground between expensive full-service movers and do-it-yourself truck rentals. Under his leadership, the business has grown to more than 170 locations nationwide over two decades and has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.
Kuhns has focused on customer service and employee engagement as central pillars of the business, investing heavily in container assets, vehicle fleets, staff training, and technology to improve the experience for both residential and commercial customers. The company has also raised significant growth capital to accelerate expansion and build out a more mobile-first customer platform.
Beyond the business itself, Kuhns has maintained a multi-year partnership with Homes For Our Troops, donating storage containers to support housing initiatives for injured veterans.
