ARCO National Construction completes 100,000 s/f warehouse project for Zippy Shell Inc.

Londonderry, NH ARCO National Construction completed a new distribution facility for Zippy Shell Inc., a portable storage and moving services company. Designed and constructed to support the client’s expanding operations, the 100,000 s/f facility addresses the growing demand for Zippy Shell’s services - including long-distance moves and local storage - following the company’s merger with 1-800-PACK-RAT in 2018.

“This new facility in Londonderry marks a significant milestone in Zippy Shell’s continued market growth and commitment to delivering best-in-class portable storage and moving solutions nationwide,” said Mark Kuhns, chief executive officer for Zippy Shell. “This location will enhance our logistics capabilities and better serve our customers across the Boston and greater New England region.”

The facility includes 1,500 s/f of office space, 32 ft. clear height, six dock positions, and two drive-in ramps. These features were designed to optimize logistics capabilities and enhance overall operational efficiency.

“We deeply value our partnership with Zippy Shell,” said Jenna Martini, vice president of ARCO National Construction. “Our team is proud to deliver a high-quality, efficient facility that will support their business goals and continued growth well into the future.”

ARCO has served as a trusted partner to Zippy Shell since 2021, supporting their expansion across the U.S. The team is working with Zippy Shell on two additional projects: a 125,400 s/f facility in Tampa, FL and a 71,550 s/f facility in San Jose, CA.
