Eager Beaver Moving & Storage
About UsSince 1984, Eager Beaver Moving & Storage has been dedicated to delivering top-notch, personalized moving experiences. With three generations of expertise, our family-owned business ensures every move is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Where it Began
Eager Beaver Moving began in 1984 with a mission to build relationships through quality moving services. Our founder, Jack Watson, combined his extensive experience in the moving and freight industry with the knowledge that his personal commitment and a handshake meant more to people than what big corporations could offer. Starting with just a few iconic trucks, Jack’s vision grew into a respected moving company known for its dedication and pride in every job.

Generations of Dedication
The Watson family’s moving legacy spans three generations. Jack’s son, Bill, joined the industry young, driving coast-to-coast and eventually establishing Eager Beaver’s Edmonton branch in the early 90s. Bill’s reputation for integrity and dependability built a strong foundation, which his son, John, continues today. John took over in 2013, bringing innovation and expansion, while maintaining the family’s commitment to excellence.

Meet Our Proud Owner - John Watson
“Hi, I’m John Watson, the proud owner and president of Eager Beaver Moving and Storage in Edmonton, Alberta. I’ve been in the moving industry almost my entire life, starting as a kid riding in the truck with my dad during summer holidays. At 15, I began working as an actual mover and soon after, got behind the wheel, driving at 17. Over the years, I’ve done every role in a moving company, from sales to dispatcher, mechanic to Operations Manager.”

Growth & Innovation
“Initially, I added a truck to our fleet each year, and soon we expanded to 16 moving trucks. In 2017, we ventured into storage services, upgrading to a larger warehouse as demand grew.”

More Growth & Innovation
“In 2020, the pandemic prompted us to offer portable storage, combining containers with our loading services, providing customers with a more affordable storage option.”

Calgary Expansion
Expanding to Calgary was inevitable and in 2025, we made the expansion a reality.
