How Phil Murphy Disrupted His Industry 1 Box At A Time

Phil Murphy owns several traditional public storage facilities in Illinois. After having dinner with a friend and hearing horror stories about how his friend spent $60 in cab fare to get to a traditional public storage facility, Phil knew something had to change.

So he created StorageByTheBox.com, a website that allows anybody to put stuff in storage by simply sending it in boxes via FedEx.
