The next few blog postings will be all about the awesome team at StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto FL. We’ll start with me! My name is Nancy Wheeler and I’m the Site Manager at StoreRight in Lecanto.
I have been working at the Lecanto location now for a year, and I love it! There is never a dull moment here. There is always something up at StoreRight! Whether it’s moving new tenants in, or working with my team on a maintenance project; or planning our participation in a local event such as the upcoming “Shop Local Expo” being held on March 30th at Central Florida College right down the street; there is always alot to do! And I love staying busy.
I am originally from New England, and have lived in Florida almost nine years now. Citrus County is home for me now, and working in Lecanto at StoreRight Self Storage is a perfect fit for me, as it’s convenient to my house. And Lecanto is right in the middle of the county, so that works out well for me, as well as my tenants. We’re pretty convenient to Beverly Hills, Pine Ridge, Citrus Hills, Crystal River, Homosassa, Inverness, and obviously Lecanto!
I have a Bachelor’s from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, but I’m not telling you what year! Most recently I completed the National Self Storage Association’s online program to become a Certified Self Storage Manager. That class was pretty intense! So glad I work for a company that encourages their employees to better themselves and to continue their education.
Just this week, I attended the annual Florida Self Storage Association Conference & Trade Show in Orlando. I took some very interesting classes with some of the top marketing and legal people in the industry. It was really great and I have lots of new ideas on how to make StoreRight Self Storage even better!
StoreRight Self Storage Lecanto is a proud member of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce, and I try to participate in as many of the after hours events, lunches, etc….that I can. The Chamber was heavily involved in the Floral City Strawberry Festival this year, and I volunteered at the Hospice Strawberry Shortcake Tent, which was a fundraiser for Hospice. That was a great time, and a great cause, although we did freeze! Florida is not always sunny & warm, unfortunately! But Citrus County came out and supported the cause anyway.
I am also a member of another great group called the Suncoast Business Masters. We meet once per week in order to network and help each other grow our businesses. Fabulous group of folks! I have met so many wonderful, caring people through the Suncoast Business Masters. We have a big silent auction & dinner event every year. The 2012 event raised twenty thousand dollars for the Early Learning Coalition. I am proud to belong to the Suncoast Business Masters.
I am also a new member of the Realtor’s Association of Citrus County. I just joined in January of 2013, and I’m already on a committee! And I’ve met more awesome folks there, too. I look forward to making new friends and great business contacts with the local realtors.
Next time, I’ll introduce you to the StoreRight Self Storage Lecanto Assistant Manager, Billie Nichols. She is my lifesaver when it comes to keeping me on track with my busy schedule and also all things technical! Of course, you can always stop by StoreRight Self Storage and meet us in person! We are here Monday through Friday 8:30 am til 5pm, and Saturdays 9am til 2pm. We’re right on Rte 491, next door to the Life South Blood Center, across the street from the Citrus County Builders Association, and directly behind the Havana House Cafe. Stop by and say hi! Or give us a call 352-527-9777, we’ll be happy to answer all your self storage questions!
