Veteran Navy Chief Petty Officer Thrives in Franchise Business
Hassan Cox’s transition from military service to civilian life was driven by a principle he learned in the U.S. Navy: logistics are critical to the success of any mission.
As an operations specialist chief petty officer, he managed between 30 and more than 100 personnel in the operations and intelligence department. The job required discipline, precision and efficiency – skills that translate well into the franchise world. For Cox, selecting a franchise was easy: Blue Kangaroo Packoutz prioritized the same principles that defined his military career.
“From a selection of four franchises, Blue Kangaroo Packoutz distinguished itself due to its strong logistical focus,” he said. “Without the ability to efficiently process, fly, ship and move cargo, an operation, much like a ship, is effectively dead in the water.”
Part of the family of brands at BELFOR Franchise Group, Blue Kangaroo Packoutz is the fastest-growing contents restoration company in the nation. Operating in over 130 territories across the U.S., the franchise combines strong revenue potential with meaningful purpose, giving entrepreneurs access to trusted insurance partnerships, large protected territories and an underserved niche.
While Cox attributes the success of his business to his extensive military experience, he also values the ongoing support from Blue Kangaroo Packoutz. Backed by its parent company, the brand offers all franchisees hands-on training led by industry experts along with continued assistance from the company’s marketing and operations teams and a dedicated regional business coach. Coupled with the brand’s generous veteran discount, former service members like Cox are set up for success.
A year and a half after opening Blue Kangaroo Packoutz in Chesapeake/Norfolk, Virginia, Cox offers valuable advice to fellow veterans ready for their next mission: “Define your objectives, conduct thorough research and get ready for an exciting journey.”
With its proven, veteran-friendly model, Blue Kangaroo Packoutz offers former service members a clear path to use their skills to make a difference in their communities.
