COOL-BINZ, a portable storage concept featuring a full lineup of premium portable storage bins, is opening its second-ever franchise location in the Athens, Georgia, area. The storage bin rental service is part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands.

The franchise location will open later this month and will be owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Larry and Lisa Oglesby. Larry has over 30 years of operations experience in consulting and industry, and Lisa has managed back-office activities for multiple businesses over the last decade. As the owners of redbox+ Dumpsters of Greater Athens, the Oglesbys will be joined in this business by their entire redbox+ Dumpsters team, including their general manager Mark Mills. When they’re not operating their two businesses, the Oglesbys enjoy traveling, golf, and spending time with their extended family. 

“When Lisa and I first started looking into potential business opportunities, we knew we wanted to choose one that would allow us to offer an innovative product that goes hand in hand with our redbox+ Dumpsters business,” said Larry Oglesby, co-owner of COOL-BINZ of Greater Athens. “Because of this, COOL-BINZ immediately stood out to us because of its full lineup of one-of-a-kind mobile storage solutions. This, combined with our overwhelmingly positive experience with BELFOR Franchise Group as redbox+ Dumpsters franchise owners, made our decision to franchise with COOL-BINZ fairly simple. We couldn’t be more thrilled to begin offering the brand’s impeccable climate-controlled storage bins across Athens and can’t wait to see all the unique ways our customers use our products.”

As a company that was founded with the mission to provide a comprehensive solution to the various issues plaguing the portable storage industry, COOL-BINZ has quickly established itself as a local brand with strong community commitment and ties in its home state of Florida. Throughout Southwest Florida and Naples, residents and business owners praise COOL-BINZ for its relationship-based approach and for fostering successful partnerships within the community.

Kathryn Padalino, owner and founder of COOL-BINZ, expressed enthusiasm for the brand’s adaptable and profitable business model: "COOL-BINZ presents an excellent business opportunity worth exploring. We're eagerly anticipating the team's nationwide expansion, starting with COOL-BINZ of Greater Athens, enabling them to offer cutting-edge storage solutions to individuals, regardless of their environmental conditions or situations. As this location becomes an established facet of its community, the whole COOL-BINZ team looks forward to seeing the positive impact the Oglesbys and their team will make on a local scale."
