Vero Beach, Florida StoreRight
The area’s newest Publix Supermarket on U.S. 1 and 53rd Street in Vero Beach is scheduled to open on May 25th. The store will open for business formally at 7 a.m. May 25th, although employees and their families will receive a preview the evening of May 24th. Lola Digiuseppi will serve as the store’s first manager.
The 45,000-square-foot anchor store is in a 68,500-square-foot shopping center called Harbor Point, currently under development by Winter Park developer Michael Collard. He is developing the site with the North American Development Group Inc. of West Palm Beach. The project is valued at $6.5 million, according to county buildings department of permits.
In the works for several years, the shopping center was on hold until Indian River County could finish a $12 million project extending 53rd Street, connecting Indian River Boulevard to 58th Avenue. Publix hopes to draw customers from Waterway Village , Vero Lago on 58th Avenue , the Grand Harbor development to the east and from the barrier island.
Publix spokeswoman Maria Brous from Lakeland said the store layout will feature traditional Publix ” fresh ” departments including bakery, meat, produce and deli, as well as specialty items such as sushi.
” The whole idea is to provide a convenient location and a clean shopping environment, ” said Brous.
” The convenience of having everything in one place will make it a one-stop shopping experience for our customers. ”
The store will also include a traditional Publix pharmacy, as well as a floral department.
While none of the additional 16,000 square feet of retail space will be occupied when Publix opens ist doors next week, tenants previously announced by Winter Park leasing agent Drew Forness include a hair salon, a bagel company, a Chinese restaurant, an Italian restaurant and nail salon.
Brous said the key to the success of the Publix supermarket chain is its commitment to customer service. Employees strive to make the shopping experience pleasant for customers.
” What we love for our customers to say is that it’s our Publix’ supermarket. ” Brous said.
StoreRight Self Storage welcomes our new neighbors at Harbor Point and is looking forward to many new and lasting business relationships.
StoreRight Self Storage
Right Place. Right Price.
The first publicly documented self-storage compartments hail back to ancient China where underground pits were used to store and preserve food. In the Middle Ages, the British offered crating services for noblemen and dignitaries who were away for home for long periods of time. The crates were kept in guarded stables and were sold by bankers. But the prototype of the modern self-storage units only emerged in the mid-20th century in the U.S. with rows pre-fabricated metal garage units rented out to individuals who needed extra storage space. Since then, self-storage has evolved where today there are reportedly over 50,000 facilities in the U.S. owned and operated by more than 25,000 entrepreneurs.
What are the most common reasons why people use self-storage facilities ?
The number one reason given by most people who rent out a self-storage unit is lack of storage at home. A great majority of those who rent self-storage units are actually homeowners where one in 10 U.S. households is said to rent a self-storage unit. This may sound strange at first, but if you take into account the astronomical growth in consumption and retail sales then the industry boom is relatively easier to appreciate.
Other reasons include moving to a new home or renovation the home, keeping commercial inventory(popular among eBay sellers and other small businesses which cannot afford big warehouse spaces) and storing valuable property and documents.
What do people keep in self-storage facilities ?
The most common things that people put into storage include:
1. Furniture: couches, dining tables, beds
2. Appliances: stoves, refrigerators, washers, cooling and heating units
3. Electronics: TV, old computers, audio equipment
4. Collector’s items and other valuable possessions: antique furniture, rare and expensive artwork, jewelry, collectible objects such as old coins and booklets of stamps.
5. Important documents and memorabilia: Family photographs, land titles, marriage certificates, writers’ manuscripts and many more.

The Florida Self Storage Association is a not for profit group of Florida self storage owners, operators, management personnel and vendors with a common goal. The FSSA was founded in 1999 by a small group of operators in south Florida that quickly grew to a statewide organization by 2001 with more than 100 members. Today, the FSSA boasts a substantial 966 members with an annualized budget of over $250,000.
“The mission of the Florida Self Storage Association is to ensure the stability and growth of the self storage industry by providing a forum in which members may increase knowledge through educational opportunities, exchange information and promote an established unified voice. ”
FSSA membership provides, among other things: educational programs for owners and their management staff; executive retreat- a day designed to promote “out of the box ” thinking for owners/developers while exchanging ideas and networking; discounts on FSSA-sponsored events; quarterly FSSA magazine; complimentary subscription to Mini Storage Messenger; FSSA networking events with guest speakers; discount advertising opportunities; leadership and open lines of communication on issues affecting the industry; opportunities to increase knowledge of the industry through research; discussion and exchange of information and an information pipeline for legislative and legal changes in the state. Membership as you can see has it benefits.
The FSSA and SSA are continuing the fight in 2013. This past year Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed into law updates to the 33-year old Self -Service Storage Act, capping a two-and-a-half year effort by the national Self Storage Association(SSA) and the Florida Self Storage Association (FSSA) to improve the regulations that govern the lien process in the Sunshine State. In 2013 they plan on seizing the momentum and continuing efforts to save owner/operators unnecessary and ineffective expenses.

What is Self-Storage?
Self-Storage facilities provide individualized units in larger facilities for lease or rent to protect items that may or may not be needed on a daily basis. Units can be drive-up or climate controlled and air-conditioned. Self-Storage as it is known today began to give tenants easy in/out access to their goods – a service not available through moving and shipping companies. Self-Storage allows tenants who are relocating, selling their home, or looking for a little extra space
What size units are available?
Air Conditioned unit sizes: 3.5×3.5 (locker), 4×5, 5×5, 5×10, 5×12, 10×5, 10×10, 10×15, 10×20, 10×25
Drive-up Standard unit sizes: 5×10, 10×10, 10×15, 10×20, 10×25, 10×30
Parking Spaces: 9×16
Why are some units air-conditioned?
Air-conditioned environments create a safer space for your delicate valuables. Items such as photo-albums, portraits, furs or fur lined coats, mattresses and blankets, etc. all benefit in the long term by being stored in an air-conditioned environment, where humidity and heat may affect their quality.
What are gate access hours?
Standard gate access hours are seven days a week, from 6am to 8pm. Special accommodations can be made for business who need additional access.
What if I have questions or concerns?
StoreRight of Vero Beach has a full time maintenance staff, and our office staff is available Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm, and Saturday’s from 9am to 5pm to answer any of your questions or address facility concerns.
What can I store in my unit?
Just about anything can be stored in your unit with a few exceptions:
It isn’t a good idea to store personal prescriptions or irreplaceable family heirlooms. Several items are prohibited such as, combustibles (i.e., gasoline, paints or aerosols) ammunition, pets, perishables or stolen goods. You also cannot live in your unit.
Will my possessions be safe?
There are no guarantees that accidents won’t happen, but we take great care in protecting your goods. Part of that care involves 24 hour Closed-Circuit video surveillance, secured and coded entry and exit gates as well as code-entry doorways. We have large, well-lit drives and fully lighted hallways to make seeing your items easier.
Do I have to have insurance on my storage?
While we highly recommend you insure your items, we neither require nor insure your property for you. We do offer a la carte insurance options starting as low as $8 dollars a month. This option can be selected at any time and will be added into the rent for your unit. Be sure to discuss the options with our office staff if you wish to add insurance to your unit.
How do I decide which size unit I need?
There are a few general guidelines we follow when recommending storage, but ultimately the choice is yours.
What you store and how you store it are the biggest factors in determining the right size storage unit.
How long is my lease?
With StoreRight your lease is month to month. We pro-rate rents on the move-in but not on the move-out, so as long as you’ve given written notice and are out of your unit by the last day of the month, you aren’t bound to the next month’s rent.
Renting a storage unit with StoreRight is easy, fast and affordable. Please contact us at (772) 562-6228 if you have any questions that weren’t answered in the above listing. We look forward to meeting you and caring for your goods!

You’re probably asking yourself, “how does storage relate to Valentines Day?” Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret: it turns out mess isn’t romantic!
As we approach what is known as the most romantic holiday of the year, it behooves us to plan ahead and prepare both our lives and our homes for the possible drop-over of a loved one. Perhaps a romantic dinner is in order, or a sappy RomCom from Netflix complete with popcorn and candy. Imagine, as you gaze lovingly into your partners eyes that the wine falls over and spills all over this years tax returns. Or perhaps in order to fit you and your honey on the sofa, you have to move boxes of photo albums, last weeks laundry and that guitar you have from college…can you see it? What a mood killer!
Both Glamour (http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/2012/05/jake-what-a-guys-place-says-about-him) and Cosmopolitan (http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/relationship-advice/what-his-apartment-says-about-him#slide-1) magazines ran articles about what your apartment say’s about you. While they tended to stick to the signals that your stuff gives off about your personality, I couldn’t help but think about what mess says to those around you – especially prospective partners in life. Does anyone other than me remember with fondness, the Friends episode where Ross was dating his dream girl and when he visited her apartment his dream became a nightmare. Clothes, memorabilia, boxes and just plain stuff everywhere. Jen Doll, staff writer for The Atlantic Wire, refers to messy apartments as “relationship killers” in her article “The Apartments Most In Need Of Spring Cleaning, (March 2012; http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/03/apartments-most-need-spring-cleaning/49389/)
Don’t lose out on love because of extra “stuff”.

We pro-rate your rent on the move-in, have great specials and offer some of the industry’s best features in security and maintenance. Call us today, reserve a storage unit, and we’ll help put you on the track to romantic success – all you need is the date!
Recently, many residents have been inquiring about the new construction project located kitty-corner to StoreRight Self Storage and Harbor Shell. An article in the TC Palm newspaper online edition clears up many of these questions. The article in it’s entirety is shown in italics below:
By Henry A. Stephens
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — After months of inaction, as nature reclaimed part of a hill of fill dirt, construction workers are back, southeast of U.S. 1 and 53rd Street, working on the long-discussed Harbor Point, a 68,500-square foot shopping center anchored by the county’s newest Publix.
“We’ve been chomping at the bit for three years now, waiting for (53rd Street) to be finished,” Winter Park developer Michael Collard said Friday. “But we’ve finally broken ground.”
County Public Works Director Chris Mora in December cut the ribbon on a $12 million project extending 53rd Street, connecting Indian River Boulevard to 58th Avenue, and creating a four-way intersection at U.S. 1. Publix officials said they worked behind the scenes on design and permit issues before visible construction could start Sept. 1.
Publix is looking for 53rd Street to bring customers from Waterway Village and Vero Lago on 58th Avenue, in addition to Grand Harbor to the east and the barrier island across the Barber Bridge.
Collard is developing the site jointly with the North American Development Group Inc., of West Palm Beach. Heinkel, Griffin & Rufrano Construction Inc., of Winter Park, is building the shopping center.
County building permits, issued July 30, place the Publix at 49,840 square feet, with the additional retail strip at 15,623 square feet. Construction is valued at $5.2 million for the Publix and $1.3 million for the other shops.
Garry Conrad, project superintendent with Heinkel, said he has until March to finish his job, adding that Publix will need until early summer to ready the store for a grand opening.
And when it opens, Publix will be far from the only new business there. Drew Forness, the leasing agent and president of Winter Park’s Forness Properties, said he has rented out half the space and listed coming tenants as:
The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co., famous for New York-style bagels
The Hair Cuttery, a family salon
The Hair Shop for Men, a traditional men’s barber shop
Pana Inc., an Italian restaurant
A nail salon
A Chinese restaurant
“We want to create a center that serves the needs and desires of the community,” Forness said in a prepared statement. “And with this in mind, we are hoping to secure additional tenants including a specialty boutique, fine wine store and liquor store and a banking institution.”
Collard said he also is developing the northeast corner of 53rd Street and U.S. 1, known as The Landings, but said the Publix project is the more important one right now.
“We don’t have any plans for the northern site,” he said. “It could be an AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts. But we want to wait until Harbor Point creates the demand.”
Long ago, in a land far, far away, the first self-storage tenant was born. Some 6,000 years ago residents of Xian, China were reported to have stored valuables in sealed clay pots buried in a public underground cavern while families traveled for various reasons. Hopefully when they returned, their items were still there and in good condition!
In the 1850’s, British banks were known to store valuables and furniture for clients in drayage lofts, amongst the hay, supplies and animals used to move goods throughout the counties. These lofts were open to workers and only the promise of retribution from the banks prevented theft and tampering.
Fortunately for us, today’s self-storage options offer solutions and advantages to not only keep what we have safe but also in good condition. Self-Storage or Self-Service-Storage is historically noted as beginning in the United States in the late 1920’s, with Trachte Building System’s designing the concept after metal garages for “cars without homes”, (http://www.trachte.com/about/1920.php). By the 1960’s, the first Self-Storage facility in Florida is reported as being in Ft. Lauderdale, and Floridians have been utilizing Self-Storage to keep their valuables dry and safe for over 50 years. In fact, 10% of all Americans use some sort of Self-Storage, and according to Melissa Caceres of the Sun Sentinel, Florida ranks 3rd in the country for self-storage use. (http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-07-26/business/fl-self-storage-industry-20120726_1_storage-units-florida-self-storage-association-florida-ranks) This means that if you aren’t using self-storage – your neighbor probably is.
Why is Self-Storage so popular in Florida? Florida tends to be a very transient state, with Tourism being our number one industry. This number includes part-time residents, who use facilities such as StoreRight Self-Storage for keeping important paperwork, valueable furnishings boats, RV’s, even automobiles safe and sound. With space here at a premium, Florida residents also use StoreRight Self-Storage for items homeowners might typically store in basements and attics, such as Christmas decorations, pool and patio equipment, or extra clothing to reduce the amount of items needed to travel with. Full-time residents take advantage of the extra space for toy storage for visiting grandchildren, extra bedding and roll-aways for guest accomodation as well as valuables they may not want to keep in-home. Local business owners use the additonal space for record keeping and supplies they may need easy access to but don’t have office space for.
What are the advantages of using StoreRight Self-Storage?
Self-Storage has become increasingly popular in the United States, and StoreRight has a space to meet your needs. Our facility has 3 types of Self-Storage: indoor climate controlled, outdoor standard, and parking spaces.
Think about how much easier you’ll breathe without all those extra sheets, towels and kids toys cluttering up the closets. Or, how much easier your business with operate without all of last years closed files filling our file drawers. Unit sizes start at 3.5′ x 3.5′ lockers and increase to 10′ x 30′ spaces, depending on availablity and climate control options.
