About Bailey's Moving & Storage
In 1952, nestled within the heart of the quiet town of Orem, Utah, Cliff (Jay) Bailey embarked on a venture that would eventually redefine the moving and storage industry. With nothing more than his garage for an office and a single pickup truck for transportation, Bailey's Moving & Storage was born. Bailey and his company laid the foundation for a company that would eventually grow to exemplify a legacy of reliability and growth within the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. This is the story of how the modest beginnings of a moving company in Utah grew to become a leading name in the moving and storage service industry.
