Wolley Movers

What Wolley Movers does

Wolley Movers is a family-owned, privately held moving company headquartered at 1040 N Cicero Ave in Chicago, Illinois, serving the Chicago metropolitan area and Chicagoland suburbs. Founded around 1999, the company operates with 51-100 employees and has been in business for more than 25 years, accumulating over 1,000 five-star reviews across Google, Yelp, Facebook, and BBB. It is licensed under Illinois Commerce Commission #119878 and has no external institutional funding or parent company.

The company's core offering is a full-service moving platform organized around residential moving, commercial/office relocation, local moves, long-distance interstate moves, and professional packing services and supplies. It has expanded into a broad specialty portfolio — piano moving, art and antique moving, senior relocation support, emergency/same-day moves, and seasonal summer and winter moving — giving it horizontal coverage of both household and business relocation needs in the metro area. Pricing is quote-based with free, no-obligation estimates delivered through a website form, phone, or email; no public pricing tiers or contract values are disclosed.

Wolley Movers runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no intermediaries. Customer acquisition is driven by a heavy local SEO footprint (100+ neighborhood and suburb landing pages), a Google Business Profile, BBB accreditation, and active Facebook and LinkedIn presences. Distribution is anchored by a single Chicago headquarters plus on-site service at customer locations. The company is a member of at least eight suburban Chambers of Commerce, supporting a referral-driven B2B pipeline alongside its residential demand.
