About Us

Memphis Mover for 68+ Years!

Lanigan Storage and Van was founded by Edward J. Lanigan, Jr. in 1955 in Memphis, TN. We have served as a continuous interstate moving agent for Allied Van Lines since we opened. Lanigan also remains as one of the top Memphis moving companies. Edward Lanigan served as owner and president until his death in 1971. His sons, Edward “Jay” Lanigan and Dick Lanigan, assumed the ownership of the company until Dick’s retirement in 2000 and Jay’s death in 2007. With the death of Jay Lanigan, his wife, Lynn, assumed the role of president until her retirement in July 2015. The company has been qualified as a Woman Business Enterprise since 2007 as a professional Memphis moving company.

Lanigan Worldwide Moving & Warehouse Moving

The company was purchased in July 2015 by long-time Memphis employees; Mitzi Lyne, President, Shannon Hollingsworth, Director/Shareholder, John Lyne, Vice President/Operations and Rodney Hollingsworth, CFO. With Mitzi Lyne and Shannon Hollingsworth as majority owners, Lanigan hopes to continue to service the Memphis community as a qualified Woman Business Enterprise and leading Memphis mover and packer.
