Bellhops makes a move of its own




Growing local startup Bellhops is moving shop to Warehouse Row’s Class A office space. Offering services in more than 120 markets in 42 states across the country, Bellhops connects customers planning moves with the manpower they need, logging close to 10,000 moves in this past year alone.

The Chattanooga-based business is now striking out on its own, relocating from the Lamp Post Group incubator into a new 8,142 square-foot suite in Warehouse Row’s mixed use property.

An outgrowth from a college campus moving service, Bellhops contracts more than 8,000 trained college students who assist with small to medium scale moves across the country. A team of software engineers automate the company’s communications and operations from city to city and ensure a well-orchestrated system that allows its contracted bellhops to service customers.

Bellhops services clients ranging from students to small businesses to senior citizens. Bellhops was recently awarded the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Spirit of Innovation Award.

With the recent openings of national retailers Anthropologie and J. Crew at Warehouse Row, as well as the forthcoming full-service restaurant, Two Ten Jack, the urban hub’s tenant community is undergoing an expansion in its premium retail offerings and business clientele.

As the seventh new tenant announced this year, Bellhops will join four other tech-driven companies located at Warehouse Row: SIGNiX, Two x Four, Experts Exchange, and Coyote Logistics.
