The history of Prestige Moving & Storage, Co. can be traced back to 1961 when William Mullen incorporated Mullen Moving & Storage in Gresham, Oregon. The company focused primarily on local and intrastate moving. Without developing a van line affiliation, the company stuck to a local moving niche for over 25 years.
In 1990, the company was purchased by Mike Larsen, Dave Borgwardt and Jim Larsen. The name was subsequently changed to Prestige Moving & Storage, Co. and became an agent for Allied Van Lines – the world’s Largest Mover. Over a short period of time, Prestige grew into one of Oregon’s largest and most diversified relocation companies.
As Prestige experienced rapid growth, the company saw a tremendous opportunity for expansion in the central Oregon town of Bend. In 1996, Prestige came roaring into the town of Bend and completely revolutionized the moving business. Today Prestige/Bend owns and occupies over 20,000 square feet of warehouse space and its market share has grown as fast as the business itself.
