News Summary
Room2Room Movers, a new moving company in Oxford, has launched to support students and families with their moving and storage needs. Founded by Brooks Fuller and his family, this company emerged from the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, providing essential services to those in transition. Committed to the community, Room2Room Movers employs college-age workers and prioritizes safety and efficiency while offering innovative moving solutions.
New Moving Company Opens in Oxford to Help Students
Good news for the college community in Oxford: a brand-new moving company called Room2Room Movers has just opened its doors, and it’s ready to assist students and families with their moving and storage needs. Owned by former Auburn baseball player Brooks Fuller, the company was born out of a unique need that emerged during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Pandemic Catalyst
Like many universities, Auburn faced unexpected campus shutdowns in early 2020. During this chaotic time, students were forced to quickly pack up and leave their dorm rooms, often leaving personal belongings behind without knowing when, or if, they would return to campus. Brooks, still reeling from his sophomore season cut short, saw an opportunity to make a difference. With a little help from his brother, Brady, and their mom, Lori, the Fullers decided to lend a helping hand to these hurried students.
The trio began retrieving personal items for needy students, who were so overwhelmed by the abrupt departures that they were willing to ship their dorm keys straight to the Fullers’ home. As the summer of 2020 rolled around, those returning to campus had the chance to get their belongings shipped back, all while the brothers donned masks and gloves, ensuring their safety and the safety of others. And it didn’t cost the students a dime. Talk about a community spirit!
Launching a Full-Fledged Business
Fast forward to June 2021, and the Fullers officially launched Room2Room Movers with a dedicated team of 12 movers. Brooks recognized that moving services were in high demand in college towns, and he wanted to capitalize on that need while helping those in transition. It wasn’t just about students, either. The new business began working with faculty members, families, homeowners, and even businesses, providing moving and storage solutions for a diverse clientele.
Targeting the College Experience
Room2Room Movers is particularly focused on catering to college students, helping them navigate the often tricky transition from one lease to another. This is especially useful for students whose leases end in the summer, when they need reliable storage for their belongings until the new leases kick in in the fall. The company prides itself on making the moving process as easy as pie—managing all aspects of the move so students can focus on their studies (or a well-deserved break).
Committed to Community and Safety
In a bid to ensure a positive impact on the local economy, Room2Room Movers is dedicated to hiring college-aged employees, providing them with training, and performing thorough background checks and drug tests. Brooks Fuller is passionate about building a business that not only serves its customers but also gives back to the community it thrives in.
Innovative Solutions and Future Goals
One of the standout features of Room2Room Movers is its emphasis on embracing technology. Clients have the ease of booking their moves online, creating inventory lists, and receiving accurate cost estimates—all while keeping everything as straightforward as possible. Plus, the company offers climate-controlled storage solutions, allowing customers to have their items picked up, stored, and delivered exactly when they need them.
Fuller has grand aspirations for Room2Room Movers. While their focus is currently on Auburn and Oxford, he dreams of expanding into other SEC college towns in the near future. With a commitment to simplicity and efficiency, along with a strong service ethos, Room2Room Movers aims to become a staple in the college moving scene.
