When the world of Self Storage first began, Storage was used mostly by those who were moving from one location to another. The length of time these folks needed Storage was short and usually limited by their budgets. It wasn’t long, however, that Business Entrepreneurs realized there could be more need for Self Storage for many more reasons than relocating. After research, studies, trial runs and some failures, the Storage business began to grow. People were beginning to put excess items they had in Storage in order to have more living space in their homes. Other Businesses realized they could put files and equiptment into Storage and expand their office or warehouse to increase their productivity. More money was to be made with more space. After the Self Storage business began to improve, many more Facilities opened. Since there were more Self Storage Facilities, it became more convenient to find a facility closer to one’s area. It didn’t take long for the Business World to realize they needed to be part of the Self Storage Facility world. A lot has changed from the earliest Self Storage world to now. Most folks have several Self Storage Facilities within a short driving distance of their home or job. Climate Control units, Gated Facilities, Security, Outdoor lighting, Covered outside lighted parking with electrical hook up options and 24 hour access have made Self Storage much more desirable to the Public. In addition, packing and moving supplies and moving trucks have been added for the convenience of the customer. Today, there are a variety of reasons people need and use Self Storage.
