Americans love their stuff. The self-storage industry continues growing to meet the demands of Americans’ need to store that stuff. In a blog on LifeStorage.com, former President and CEO of the Self-storage Association for the US was quoted, stating that “storage facilities account for 2.47 billion net-rentable square feet in the United States. Put another way, there are 88.6 square miles of self-storage in our country – nearly 3 times the size of Manhattan.”
Now, there’s another new facility in the area near Woodlan High School at the corner of Webster Road and Old U.S. 24. For those old-timers out there, that’s where the old “5-points” was. If you know your geography, that’s just 4 miles west of Woodburn, 6 miles east of New Haven, and 6 miles south of Harlan. And if you live in Fort Wayne or Ohio, Google the address (4550 N. Webster Road, Woodburn, IN) and you’ll find it just minutes away from your location.
Affordable Self-Storage is owned and operated by Kevin and Monica Gingerich from their home-based Woodburn office. After 26 years of working in the concrete trade as a business-owner, Mr. Gingerich began seeking an alternative source of income for his family of four, and in 2012 the Gingeriches purchased Leo Mini Storage. After expanding that property as much as was possible, their reputation for providing a clean, well-kept facility with reasonable rates had them turning people away because they couldn’t keep up with the demand. Several years of looking for other established businesses to buy or parcels to develop led them to develop the new facility in Woodburn, recently finished and now open for business.
The three storage buildings at Webster/Old U.S. 24 provide up to 96 storage units for rent, depending on how the units are configured. The Gingeriches built the new buildings with partition walls that can be moved to accommodate the sizes clients are seeking. Sizes on-site include 5×7, 5×10, 10×10, 10×15, 10×20, and 10×30, the latter requiring the reconfiguration and thus determines the total number of rentable units available. When you call their Woodburn number (260.632.5768), Monica will help you with all the details to secure a unit; Kevin’s role is property maintenance and moving those walls! No more concrete work for him (he retired from that line of business in 2016). So whether one needs to store totes of business files, the furnishings of a one-bedroom apartment or a five-bedroom home, a car, or those space-hogging items in the garage or extra seasonal toys, the new Affordable Self-Storage location is ready to provide tenants with an affordable and convenient place to store their items for short or long-term needs.
