As you go through things in your storage room or people give you their hand-me-down clothes, you take them right to the storage unit.

All you will need to do is load up your van or truck with your items and unload them onto the tables and racks in your garage. Every- thing will already be sorted and priced. Having the storage unit also will let you concentrate on preparing for the sale without distractions.

It’s that perfect time of year and you want to have a garage sale to get rid of some of your old things. The question is where to store and organize your items while you are getting ready. A self-storage unit is your answer. Your basement storage room may be so full that you have no idea what is in there, and no room to sort through it. Your garage may be full of tools, bicycles, kids’ toys, yard tools, and sporting equipment, not to mention your cars.

An empty storage unit is the perfect place to sort and price all of your items. The best way to keep things in order is to categorize things as you drop them off at the storage unit. Sort your items by categories you might see in a department store or secondhand store

People come from all over the Valley to see the baby chicks and pot belly pigs. Our knowledgeable staff is always helpful and can answer most of your animal ques-tions. We also have a wonderful grooming facility on-site. Staff uses gentle grooming techniques and is perfect for dogs that may be afraid of grooming. Find us on Facebook.
