Buy a 1-800-Packouts Franchise

1-800-Packouts is a contents restoration franchise that packs, cleans, stores and returns personal property after homes and businesses suffer fire, water, mold or storm damage. Founded in 2013 and franchising since 2015, the brand handles the personal-property side of an insurance claim through a structured process of inventory, packout, cleaning, climate-controlled storage and return.

The business runs on B2B referrals rather than retail marketing. Work flows from insurance carriers, adjusters, third-party administrators and restoration firms, and each franchise serves a protected territory from a warehouse-light storage and processing location. Owners manage a high-volume operation with low staffing and job-management software rather than a customer-facing storefront.

1-800-Packouts is part of Five Star Franchising, a multi-brand platform whose portfolio includes Mosquito Shield, Five Star Bath Solutions and Gotcha Covered. The brand is positioned as a national specialist focused solely on contents restoration, backed by a 24/7 national call center that routes claim leads to local owners.

Why buy a 1-800-Packouts Franchise?

Buying a 1-800-Packouts franchise offers entry into an essential, claim-driven service that holds up across economic cycles, since fire, water and storm damage create demand regardless of the wider economy. The national brand carries weight with insurance partners, who tend to route work to recognised, consistent providers rather than independent operators.

The referral-based model structures much of the lead flow through carrier, adjuster and third-party-administrator relationships, reducing the marketing spend an independent restoration business would carry. Protected territories and a warehouse-light footprint keep overhead contained, while the national call center and job-management systems let owners focus on operations. Multi-unit ownership is available for those looking to scale.

1-800-Packouts – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training is delivered hands-on at the company's National Training Complex, where incoming owners learn restoration logistics, the digital inventory system and B2B relationship-building through real-world claim scenarios. Ongoing support includes continued education through the year, custom job, inventory and scheduling software, marketing assistance and a 24/7 national call center and virtual assistant that routes claim leads to local franchises. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm what transfer training and software access the franchisor provides to incoming owners and any crew they inherit.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits detail-oriented, process-driven operators who are comfortable coordinating logistics, managing crews and building B2B relationships with insurance carriers, adjusters and restoration firms. Prior restoration experience is not required, as training is provided; backgrounds in project management, logistics, operations or military service map well. Owners should be organised under pressure, responsive in time-sensitive claim situations and able to show empathy to customers dealing with property loss.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    1-800-Packouts is listed in Entrepreneur's franchise directory and operates under Five Star Franchising, a platform recognised on the Inc. 5000 and by Franchise Business Review for franchisee satisfaction, with several of its brands ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500. The brand's reputation rests on its specialist focus on contents restoration and its insurance-industry relationships. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and standing with carriers and adjusters.

  4. Industry / Market

    1-800-Packouts operates in the US damage restoration services market, worth roughly $7.1 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld). Demand is tied to fire, water, mold and storm events and the insurance claims that follow, which keeps the category largely recession-resilient and non-seasonal in aggregate, though local volume can spike with severe weather. Established carrier and third-party-administrator relationships drive steady referral work, so for resale buyers the strength of a unit often rests on the depth of its local insurance and adjuster network.
