Boston’s “Simply Done®” Unpacking Service Now Franchising

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The slogan of Simply Done is “Unpacking Made Easy” -- and it is made easy for relocating executives, upsizing families, and downsizing seniors -- even vacation homebuyers. No longer must these time-strapped people agonize over every step of making a house a home, or an office an efficient, attractive workplace. Instead, the trained specialists at Simply Done unpack and set-up with care, accuracy, and a decorative flair. Busy executives and families save time and turmoil, with moving-in and placement done for them -- and possibly other related services, too. They enjoy their new locations immediately.

Simply Done has operated as a successful Boston-area business for the past several years. Simply Done is now offered as a home-based, affordable franchise by its creators -- experienced interior decorators, unpackers and organizers. Simply Done was created by the team of Karen Suvalle and Robyn Beliveau and was later joined by Kenneth C. Cummins who has been named president and director of the franchise corporation. All three reside in the Boston Metro market.
