It is just amazing the number of people that call in to inquire about storing their goods.  Early summer and around holidays tend to be really heavy, but I think the economic downturn may have created increased demand for our spaces as well.  Some people have been forced to make unwanted transitions in these hard times, often necessitating the use of our self storage rental units.

Although many people rent a unit for short-term use during periods of transition, there are many reasons why people wind-up needing long term storage .  For example, some businesses use storage facilities for storing inventory or vehicles, and in these commercial situations businesses look to staying for a considerable period of time.  Additionally, some people know in advance that they plan to keep their belongings secure for a long period of time, and at many facilities customers can receive a considerable discount for prepaying several months in advance.
