An on-site manager will reside on the grounds and free use of its company truck will be available when moving items into the facility. Owner Craig Stern is excited to open.
“While leasing storage units and selling merchandise is our business, we want our unmatched customer service with primary focus on our customers’ needs to distinctly define us and set us apart. The difference is not in what we do, but rather how we do it,” he said. “As we aim to please our customers, we also aim to be of benefit to our local community by supporting, participating and providing resources to the community around us in various capacities. We believe life is best lived when we work together, encourage, support and serve one another.”
One way it supports the community is by offering a military discount and free use of the company truck for local charitable organizations and by utilizing the area on the rear of the truck to thank and show appreciation to the military service members and frontline workers that live among us.
