What around the block moving and storage does

Around The Block Moving and Storage is a privately held, founder-owned moving services company operating exclusively in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex since 1993. Founded by Mike Quinn and headquartered in Dallas, the company runs three physical offices (Dallas, Richardson, McKinney) and serves more than 50 cities across 16 North Texas counties, holding TX DMV #6380695C and U.S. DOT #2166531 along with a BBB A+ accreditation. Its service portfolio covers residential and apartment moving, corporate relocations, professional packing, partnered climate-controlled storage, junk removal, and move-in/move-out cleaning, with the latter three positioned as add-ons to the core moving offering.

The business runs on a traditional, labor-driven operating model with no proprietary technology platform; customer acquisition is driven by Google reviews, Google My Business, blog content, BBB trust signals, free online estimates, and community partnerships such as its Move for Hunger program. Revenue is generated entirely on a transactional, quote-based fee structure billed per move (priced by number of movers, time, and distance) plus add-on fees for packing materials, storage duration/volume, junk haul-off volume, and cleaning scope. Customer mix is dominated by long-tail residential homeowners and renters supplemented by fragmented commercial work across hospitality, retail, government, healthcare, and education verticals.

The company has been bootstrapped throughout its 30+ year history with no external funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity. Strategic activity over the past two decades has been measured and organic: incremental office openings (Richardson 2006, McKinney 2022), gradual expansion of the service menu, and investment in local SEO and earned-media recognition including 2024 Expertise.com and Loc8nearme regional best-mover awards.

Broad incumbents

• PODS: National portable storage container rental and moving brand with significant Texas operations. Comparable on the storage-plus-moving value proposition and overlapping local customer base, but at much larger scale.
