Company information

Operating from their Old Hickory location, Little Guys Movers brings a refreshingly upbeat approach to Nashville's competitive moving landscape, proving that relocating doesn't have to be a dreaded experience. Since establishing their Music City presence, this franchise has embraced Nashville's creative spirit with their motto "we move stuff and we have fun doing it," creating an atmosphere that puts clients at ease during what's traditionally a stressful time. Their comprehensive service portfolio spans residential moves, commercial relocations, specialty item handling including pianos and pool tables, plus both local and long-distance moving solutions tailored to each client's unique requirements. What sets Little Guys apart from typical Nashville movers is their commitment to transparent pricing with no surprise fees, combined with over three decades of franchise experience that translates into refined moving processes and superior customer care. Led by franchise owner John Manning, a former company manager who understands the business inside and out, the team focuses on building genuine community connections rather than treating moves as mere transactions. Their hands-on training ensures every crew member upholds the company's standards of reliability, professionalism, and that distinctive "fun" factor that makes Little Guys Movers a standout choice in Tennessee's bustling capital.
