Two Men and a Truck invested $2 million in the redevelopment of its 50,000 square foot Lansing facility.
“We have always rented buildings ever since we moved the business out of our home 15 years ago,” says Jon Sorber, executive vice president of Two Men and a Truck. “We decided we were now at a point where we wanted to build equity in a 
building.”
Two Men and a Truck purchased the 50,000 square foot, 1200 Keystone Ave. building three years ago and recently finished renovations on the new flagship franchise offices. New franchisees visit flagship offices to observe operations.
“We completely gutted it right to the inside and the roof and the cinder blocks on the inside,” he says. “It looks like a brand new building on the inside and we used all Michigan contractors.”
The Keystone site gives the company plenty of room for its more than 20 moving trucks. It’s also close to the highway and very accessible to drivers and franchisees.
Roughly 40 movers and drivers work from the new Lansing office. Two Men and a Truck is using half of the 50,000 square foot space and maintains its Belle Chase Way headquarters in Lansing.
