Behind the Scenes at MULE BOX: Crafting, Customer Service, and a Growing Portable Storage Business in the Bay Area

As the supportive wife of a small business owner, I get to wear many hats at MULE BOX. From managing social media and customer service to handling admin duties, I’m in it every step of the way. But my passion for crafting also shines through in the work I do—whether it’s painting a reminder of our first sale or organizing fun DIY projects around the office. This business is our baby, and every day is an opportunity to make it a success.

Crafting Memories: The Story Behind Our First Sale

One of the most meaningful things I’ve done at MULE BOX is painting a picture of the home of our very first sale. This special moment still fills me with pride. As someone who loves crafting and creating, I felt compelled to commemorate that milestone with a painting that now hangs proudly in our office. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of how far we’ve come and how much more we have to achieve. The painting symbolizes our journey and the future we’re building, one portable storage unit at a time.

Whether you’re into DIY projects, painting, or other creative crafts, there’s something magical about turning a special moment into art. As a crafting enthusiast myself, I love using my skills to capture important milestones in a way that feels personal and meaningful—something I hope others can relate to in their own creative endeavors.

Why I’m So Passionate About MULE BOX and Portable Storage in the Bay Area

As someone who loves crafting and getting my hands into all kinds of projects, I find it so rewarding to be part of MULE BOX. While I’m busy managing social media and handling all the behind-the-scenes details, what really keeps me motivated is knowing we’re offering a service that makes life easier for so many people in the Bay Area. From Alameda to Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, our portable storage containers provide the perfect solution for anyone who needs a little extra space—whether you’re moving, organizing, or even starting a new project (which I know is something my fellow crafters can totally relate to!).

What I really love about MULE BOX is the personal touch we bring to everything we do. When you choose us for your storage needs, you’ll always work directly with one of the owners. They know the Bay Area like the back of their hand and genuinely care about the community we’re serving. It’s not just about renting a container; it’s about making sure every customer feels heard and supported. Whether you need storage for a few weeks or a few months, we’re here to help you find the perfect solution—just like how I love to find the perfect supplies for my own projects.

Meet the MULE BOX Owners: Best Friends, Corporate Veterans, and Now Entrepreneurs The heart of MULE BOX lies in its ownership. Patrick, Bert, and Kory have worked together in the corporate world for almost 20 years. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, they decided it was time to build something of their own—something that reflected their hard work, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit. Last summer, they took the leap and launched MULE BOX, a small business dedicated to offering exceptional portable storage containers and customer service to people throughout the Bay Area.

Their decision to start this business wasn’t just about making a living—it was about creating something lasting, building a brand that was deeply connected to the community, and doing it together. Their friendship and shared work history make them the perfect team to lead the charge. It’s not just a business; it’s a legacy in the making.

Why I Wear So Many Hats (and Love It) I take on different roles at MULE BOX because I’m passionate about seeing our business thrive. From managing social media and handling customer inquiries to organizing office tasks and helping out with DIY projects, every job feels like a step closer to building something meaningful. Whether I’m installing floodlights or painting our office, I know that every small effort contributes to the big picture. It’s not about doing everything; it’s about doing what’s needed to help our business grow and succeed in the Bay Area market.

Our portable storage containers are a great option for homeowners, businesses, and anyone in need of extra space. If you’re in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, or Santa Clara counties, we’ve got you covered with affordable, reliable storage solutions. Plus, with my crafting background, I’m always on the lookout for creative ways to make our business stand out, whether that’s through DIY projects, engaging social media posts, or showcasing the stories behind our customers and our team.
