Privately Owned Chicagoland Moving Company Since 1914

Pickens-Kane is a professional moving company formed in 1951, but our inception began in 1914. Leslie Pickens expressed baggage from Chicago train depots to the Gold Coast, and James Kane started a moving and storage company that later helped form the renowned Allied Van Lines.

In 1946, Pickens Movers was purchased by retired U.S. Army veteran Michael F. Munroe Sr. At that time, the company operated out of a humble, 10x10 ft office on N. Clark St. In 1951, Munroe purchased Kane Storage Co. and merged the companies into one, and thus Pickens-Kane was born. From there, he secured authority as an Allied Van Lines agent and soon became known among local companies such as Marshall Field and Company, Hammon Organ Co., and Simmons Mattress Co.   

Today, we are the largest commercial moving company in Illinois. We also remain privately owned and dedicated to superior service for residential and commercial relocations locally, long-distance, and internationally.
