Welcome back to the Franchise Fit Podcast — I’m your host Lance Graulich. Today I’m joined by Keith McBride, a successful 1-800-PACKOUTS franchisee in the Philadelphia / Philly Metro market (🦅 Go Eagles).
If you’ve ever asked, “What is a packout business?” — Keith explains how content restoration works after floods, fires, burst pipes, and other disasters: his team removes household contents, cleans/drys/deodorizes what can be saved, stores items, coordinates with insurance (when covered), and returns everything after reconstruction. We also dive into the real operator side: leaving corporate, hiring, cash flow timing, scaling into multiple territories, and advice for first-time business owners.
