Well there are alot of things give me the weekend and i am sure i could come up with some. But the pack and ship thing is good as well as having postal boxes to rent out.
I wouldn't do the liquior store as it might bring in the wrong type of ppl into your storage units, if ya know what i mean. As for the beauty shop what happens if they are in the middle of a perm and in walks someone to rent a unit. The smell would be horrible. These are just my 2 cents on this take it or leave it.
How big is your office space?

office is 600 sq ft, your right on the beauty shop idea thoght that my self, every thing I think of I can find 3 reasons not to, my best answer is to hook up with a cell phone tower, no luck so far or bill board company, because I'am right on the HWY /
my son has worked it for me this summer, whiles hes home from college, and done well , but I have a full time job and I have the phone come to me , but i have lost business because i couldnt get there as soon as they wanted/ but thought about a kiosh as well but i do not think people in hill billy heaven are ready for that yet/ and i dont want any cah left in a machine either// help thanks chuck Hwy P STOR IT & PARK IT

Chuck...my idea for you would be a CARWASH and/plus or a Laundrymat/drycleaning.

Maybe get a retired cpl who live near by or has an RV they can bring onsite.
Maybe a gift shop for a local crafter. This is hard as you want it to stay as clutter free as possible.

maybe a local Martial Artist looking to start up a school they could use the office at night in exchange for working part time. They don't have to teach large groups just a couple of ppl maybe 2 classes a night for like 4 ppl each.
Gosh my mind always goes to Martial Arts

Hi Chuck,

Have you looked into portable srorage lately? It's definitely getting more affordable now with non-franchise options out there and some containers that don't require expensive trucks to move them. You could give up some of your low-income parking spaces to store the containers when on your site for higher monthly rent. Also consider sharing the office with a local moving company. They could cover the phones for you and may bring in more renters.

Steve those are great ideas ? guess the best idea to start might be to go to the thread portable storage, have you looked into it or are you doing it now ?

thanks Chuck
