Small businesses truly are the backbone of a thriving economy. Their owners—entrepreneurs willing to take financial risks—create jobs, drive innovation, and contribute character and vitality to their local communities. These individuals often work long hours, navigate uncertainty, and make personal sacrifices to keep their businesses strong and growing.

The research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, has identified Royal Moving and Storage of Jacksonville as a standout example of a business that is both highly valued by its customers and essential to the local economy. Royal Moving and Storage of Jacksonville is a family owned and run business. Established in 1985, the company has proudly served the Jacksonville area for over 40 years, helping families and businesses relocate with professionalism and efficiency.

The company’s longevity and success reflect the dedication and resilience of its owner, Shawn Royal. Like many entrepreneurs, he has overcome numerous challenges that come with running a business. Beyond his professional efforts, Shawn is also committed to giving back, including supporting initiatives that address homelessness. Outside of work, he enjoys boating and fishing—well-earned time spent recharging from the demands of business ownership.
