Based in Clearwater, Fla., PODS has corporate and franchise markets across the United States, as well as operations in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The company, founded in 1998, operates by delivering a storage container to the customer’s location to be packed and then stored or delivered to another location.
This transaction is led by Teachers’ Private Capital’s Long-Term Equities group, which is focused on direct investments with steady cash flow, growth potential over a long-term horizon and a low to moderate level of risk.
