PODS® Local Celebrates 20 Years of Serving the Community with Anniversary Giveaway
The Californer/10326831

VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- PODS® Local is celebrating 20 years of helping Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo County families and businesses move and store what matters most. To mark this milestone anniversary, PODS® Local, in partnership with Cumulus Media – Ventura is running an "Imagine the PODS-ibilities" contest, giving one lucky winner $2,000 and six months of free storage.

Since bringing PODS® to the Tri-Counties in 2005, the visionary leaders behind PODS® Local, Steve Yapp and Al Jonas, have offered residents and businesses a convenient, flexible alternative to traditional moving and storage. PODS® was originally founded in 1998 with a simple but disruptive idea: deliver the storage container to the customer, allowing them to pack and load on their own schedule. They continue to lead the industry with residential and commercial services available in 46 U.S. states, Canada, Australia, and the UK.

"From day one, we set out to provide people with a better way to move and store, and the Tri-County community welcomed us with open arms," said Steve Yapp, owner of PODS® Local. "We are incredibly grateful to our customers and partners, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering personalized service, innovative solutions, and peace of mind."
