I actually have a 10' x 25' unit in my office (pictured at right), with a series of roll up doors (10', 15', and 20'). I can show them to prospective tenants without taking them around in a golf cart. One of the things that has happened over the years is that offices have gotten much more retail-oriented. So I sell a lot of boxes. At the facility that I sold four years ago in Round Rock (to Uncle Bob's), I was up to $65,000 a year in box sales. I once had a tenant who went to get some stuff from his unit, and he cut locks on some units and stole electronic stuff, so now I have electronic alarms (and 41 cameras) on every storage space that monitor every activity outside." - Mitch Michener, owner, Michener Self Storage © 42 Copyright TSSA January/February 2009 · www.txssa.org
