Why We Built Monster Tote: A Local Nebraska Business Making Moving Easier
At Monster Tote, we believe moving should be a little less stressful—and a whole lot more efficient. We’re proud to be a locally owned Nebraska business, founded right here in Omaha with a simple mission: make moving easier, cheaper, and greener for families, busy professionals, and anyone tired of dealing with flimsy cardboard boxes.
But Monster Tote didn’t start in a warehouse or on a spreadsheet. It started with a guy named John.
From Nebraska Roots to Omaha Innovation
John McConnell grew up in Western Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Like many Nebraskans, he left the state for work—spending years in sales and management roles with both Fortune 500 companies and small businesses across the U.S. and abroad.
He also dipped his toes into the startup world, developing a strong passion for building solutions that help real people. Through all his travels, one thing became clear: there really is no place like Nebraska.
When he returned home to Omaha, he was ready to plant roots and build something local—something that gave back to the community and made people’s lives just a little easier.
The Problem: Moving is the Worst
John had moved a lot in his life. And like many of us, he dreaded it every single time. Cardboard boxes broke, tape rolls ran out, trash piled up, and nothing ever stayed organized. After doing some research, he realized Omaha was missing something—an affordable, eco-friendly, reusable moving box solution.
The Solution: Monster Tote
And that’s where Monster Tote was born. We provide durable, reusable plastic moving totes delivered right to your door. No tape, no broken boxes, and no waste. Just stackable, secure, clean totes that make packing and unpacking easier—whether you’re moving across town or just down the street.
We proudly serve the Omaha metro and surrounding areas, helping families, single parents, new homeowners, and downsizers save time, money, and a little sanity during the moving process.
Why Supporting Local Matters
When you rent from Monster Tote, you’re not just checking off a to-do item—you’re supporting a Nebraska-born, locally run business that believes in good service, fair pricing, and strong community roots.
