Thread: Evolution of Self Storage Industry

The self storage industry is primarily a United States-based industry: of the 58,000 storage facilities worldwide in 2009, 46,000 were located in the United States.Although there is historical evidence of publicly available storage in ancient China, modern self storage facilities in which the tenant has exclusive access to the storage space did not begin to appear until the 1960s. Modern storage facilities grew slowly through the 90s, at which time demand outpaced supply and caused a rush of new self storage developments. From 2000 to 2005, over 3,000 new facilities were built every year

Absolutely correct! But now Large Storage Units are available in all parts of the world and successfully running, helping people on reasonable rates. I think opening up a storage unit is actually a noble deed. Many companies just help people at the time of natural calamities.

There was a story on my local news tonight about a storage company in Clovis CA called Clovis Storage and Exec. Office Suites, they rent out CC lockers to companies to use as office and showroom space. So what do you all think of this idea?

Well, Self storage business is a great boon for the society. Its a place that people can always store there valuables without any problem. The number of these business units will surely increase in the coming time.
