Why our self storage business being established since 1986 actually matters! Hint: It’s not just about the big hair.

Let’s take a trip back to 1986 for a moment. The world was in a whirlwind of Top Gun, neon leg warmers, and shoulder pads bigger than your plans to declutter your garage. And amidst all that glorious ‘80s chaos, a man named Norm, and his family decided it was the perfect time to start a self-storage business.
Now, you might be wondering: Why should I care that this business has been around since the era of cassette tapes and Walkmans? It’s a valid question. You’re just looking for a safe place to store that massive collection of lawn flamingos and vintage comic books, right?
But here’s the thing—being around since 1986 doesn’t just mean we’ve got a few extra grey hairs (and a great ‘80s playlist). It means experience, trust, and a proven track record—all things you should want when choosing a place to store your precious belongings. And while we may be the new owners since 2018, we’re carrying on the legacy Norm built with the same dedication to keeping your stuff safe. Let’s break it down, shall we?
We Know the Difference Between Valuable and “Oops, Should’ve Kept That”
Let’s face it—when you’ve been in business this long, you’ve seen it all. From valuable antiques (that are actually worth something) to items you wish you’d left at your cousin’s garage sale; we’ve learned a thing or two about what people hold dear. You’re trusting us to take care of your stuff, and we don’t take that lightly. We’ve been perfecting our craft since mullets were cool—and, for the record, we think they should’ve stayed in 1986.
Time-Tested Security
We’re like the Alcatraz of self-storage. After nearly four decades, this business has mastered security like nobody’s business. It’s not just about fancy locks and cameras (although we’ve got those too)—it’s about understanding the ins and outs of keeping your belongings safe. After all, this place has been doing it for as long as people have been making questionable fashion choices.
Proven Customer Satisfaction
Would you trust your storage needs to a pop-up storage shop that’s been around for, say, five minutes? Or would you prefer a business that’s been earning its stripes since Michael Jackson was moonwalking across the charts? Exactly. Norm and his family spent years building a solid reputation, and since we took over in 2018, we’ve continued that tradition of making mistakes, learning from them, and becoming the storage experts you deserve. And with nearly 40 years of happy customers under our belt, we’ve got the reviews to prove it.
Consistency is Key
Remember your favourite neighbourhood café that shut down after six months? (We’re still mourning that avocado toast, too.) Well, when it comes to storage, consistency matters. This business has been around long enough to see entire neighbourhoods transform and trends come and go. But one thing hasn’t changed: the commitment to reliable service. You don’t stay in business for 40 years by accident—Norm got it right from the start, and we’ve been keeping it up since Duran Duran was on the radio.
We’ve Grown, But Never Outgrown Our Roots
Sure, we’ve upgraded the facilities, improved the security systems, and modernised like the best of them. But the customer-first approach Norm built? That’s as vintage as an original Nintendo, and we’re proud to continue it. When you choose us, you’re not just renting space; you’re renting with a family-owned business that’s been part of the community longer than most smartphones last.
We Have Stories (And We Don’t Mind Sharing)
You know that grandparent who loves telling stories about “the good old days”? Well, this business is kind of like that—except the stories are about the hilarious and heartwarming moments of nearly four decades in the storage biz. From customers storing entire cars to the time someone brought in 200 garden gnomes (yes, really), we’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle your quirky, unique needs.
So, why does it matter that this business has been around since 1986? Because longevity means trust. It means experience. It means we’re not just here for today—this business has been here for decades, and we’re proud to keep it going strong.
Whether you’re stashing old memories or just need to clear space for new ones, we’ve been the go-to since the days of VCRs. Trust us—your stuff’s in good hands. (And if you do have some of those ‘80s mixtapes lying around, maybe store them with us. You never know when those will come back in style.)
Safe, secure, and standing strong since 1986—thanks to Norm and family (and us, since 2018).
Now, excuse us while we put on some Van Halen and reminisce about the good old days of 1986. Your treasures are in good hands and by storing with us you are making room for what matters at home. Your family.
