Pink Zebra Moving is a local moving brand that delivers a better, more positive customer experience. We believe the moving industry is broken. Customers expect headaches, stress and big problems when hiring a moving company. We make the moving experience fun by surprising customers before, during and even after a move has been completed. From free dinners the night before a move to personalized gifts delivered during the move, we deliver a unique experience that allows our service to become less commodity and more luxury.
Founded and backed by the former CEO of the 100+ location home services brand Two Maids, Pink Zebra Moving is a disruptive consumer services brand ready to attack a multi-billion industry that hasn’t changed since its inception more than 50 years ago.

Training: All franchisees undergo a detailed pre-open process that takes anywhere from 75 – 120 days. Our goal is to have a new franchisee open for business within 90 days of the execution of a franchise agreement. The pre-open process begins with a kickoff phone call to schedule key dates such as the business’ grand opening and the multiple face to face training dates. The real work begins once all key dates have been scheduled.
One of the key portions of the pre-open process is the face to face training received from the home office. All franchisees will be required to attend and graduate from Pink Zebra University upon execution of a franchise agreement. Classes are presented in a formal classroom setting, with some portions of the training conducted within our local Birmingham, AL office location.
