New Olympia Moving & Storage facility in Canton, MA
Olympia Moving & Storage, a Boston moving and storage company headquartered in Watertown, MA, has seen double-digit growth each of the past four years. As a result, we have exceeded the capacity of our full-service warehouse in Watertown, MA and are proud to announce the opening of Olympia’s second Boston area storage facility in Canton, MA.
The Canton storage location is a 50,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art warehouse. Olympia Moving & Storage acquired this facility more than a year ago and has been working diligently to ensure that the Canton facility met the high standards of the Watertown location, including: 24-hour security systems, temperature control, a dedicated warehouse staff, and immaculate condition.
Not only will the Canton warehouse allow Olympia Moving & Storage to serve more clients, but it will allow us to better serve our South Shore and interstate clientele. The Canton location will make storing with Olympia more convenient for our clients in the surrounding towns of Medfield, Dedham, Norwood, Milton, Randolph, Weymouth and Hingham. This new facility is also optimized for tractor trailer access.
No matter the location, we are confident that Olympia Moving & Storage can provide the best full-service storage experience. Click here to learn more about our storage services.
For moving companies, it’s the people that make all the difference. From our crews on the trucks, to our sales and coordination team, to our office support staff, Olympia always hires talented people who put the needs of our clients first.
Winter may be a slower time for moving, but the Olympia team doesn’t hibernate through the season. The company always takes advantage of the time to add improvements to the client experience, train the staff, and move the company forward. Most importantly, winter is the perfect time to hire new members of the Olympia team and prepare them for the busy summer season.
This winter, Olympia made more hires and added more new roles than ever before, marking landmark growth for the company. In addition to hiring several drivers and many new crew members, we added NINE new staff members to the office support staff, increasing our support staff 38%!
Customer Service

The biggest expansion was to our relocation coordination team, giving us the ability have an individual relationship with each client leading up to, during, and after their move. We added four new members to the department. Candace Longo, Amy Grant, and Meaghan Mitchell joined us as part of the Clark & Reid acquisition. Between them they have a combined 20 years of experience in relocation coordination. Candace will be leading the team as the department manager, her motto is that if the client feels they are not getting exceptional service at any point in the move process, she wants the coordination team to know!

As part of this re-organization, two new members were added to the operations office staff. Keith McEwen has worked with Olympia for many years as one of our top movers, and will leverage this experience in his promotion to Operations Manager in our Boston office.
