Go Mini’s Helps Northwest Arkansas Recover After Devastating Tornadoes

In late May 2024, a series of severe tornadoes ripped through Northwest Arkansas, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Homes were flattened, businesses were destroyed, and entire communities were left to pick up the pieces. In the midst of this chaos, Go Mini’s stepped up, providing essential support to both the community and local restoration companies.

The Challenge

When disaster strikes, time is of the essence. Immediately after the tornadoes hit, many residents and businesses found themselves in urgent need of storage solutions to begin the recovery process. Competing container companies were unable to deliver their units for 8-10 days due to overwhelming demand and logistical challenges. This setback significantly impeded efforts to clear debris and protect undamaged belongings.

Additionally, many areas were off-limits for several days because of safety concerns and debris, making deliveries complicated. Restoration companies needed quick and reliable access to storage containers to help their clients and kickstart the rebuilding process as soon as possible.

The Solution

Go Mini’s of Northwest Arkansas stepped up with a quick and effective response. Thanks to their strong relationships with local restoration companies, they were able to act fast.

• Rapid Deployment: Go Mini’s locations in Arkansas managed to deliver containers the very next day after the tornadoes struck, a stark contrast to the 8-10 days needed by competitors. By Sunday morning, just days after the tornadoes, they were already fielding calls from restoration companies requesting containers.
• Strategic Partnerships: The strong relationships between Go Mini’s and local restoration companies allowed for seamless coordination. Restoration companies placed calls and received the containers they needed as soon as the next day, ensuring that recovery efforts could begin immediately.
• Proactive Planning: Restoration companies began calling ahead to secure containers in anticipation of future needs, ensuring they were well-prepared to serve their customers effectively.

Throughout the immediate recovery period, Go Mini’s delivered about 25 containers to various locations. Despite some areas being inaccessible for several days due to debris and safety concerns, Go Mini’s ensured that once cleanup began, they were ready to deliver the necessary storage solutions.

The Results

Thanks to Go Mini’s prompt action and strategic partnerships, the community and local restoration companies experienced significant benefits.
