I cut the grass, plow the snow. Used one tank of gas 2021.
Potential to purchase Story County Maintenance Building which depending on the mix would be another 10-30 units
and more outside parking.
We have not raised the rent on any customers since we opened in 2014 but we have increased the rent 7 times since
we opened and we can supply the list of current clients. Some of our clients are renting at 29% below
our current rental rates.
Another potential rental income source is to require everyone to purchase our insurance. We have chosen not to
require insurance. We offer it only as an option and as a CYA program only.
I had the privilege of meeting the owner Steve. Who met with my brother and I not even 20 minutes after my first call with him to look at storage units. He gave a detailed and thorough explanation about the units, how to get in and how to use the system. I feel really comfortable renting from Steve and I look forward to working with him in the future - Stivers Kids
My wife and I have rented from Steve and Ames West Side Storage beginning in the summer of 2021. The storage facility is clean, well-kept and the customer service is exceptional. Steve (the owner) truly goes out of his way for his renters. It's also very reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend this facility more.
This was the first good experience I’ve had dealing with storage companies! Steve called me almost immediately after I sent an inquiry and gave great information about their units. The check-in/rental process was super easy and quick too!
Secure storage with fair prices. Great customer service. 10/10 would use these storage units again!
Best storage company I've ever worked with! Price is right, location is right, and the owner couldn't be easier to work with. Always responsive, always answers or returns my calls and is very accommodating. I would recommend this company to anyone needing storage. Could not be happier with my experience.
Super convenient, easy to manage storage units. My belongings were kept safe and secure through rain and snow. The owner Steve is flexible and easy to talk to. There is a kiosk for the initial check-in so you can get your unit whenever you’re ready.
This is a very convenient and easy-to-access storage facility. Love the automated/paperless rental machine. Clean and accessible facilities along with great customer service! Great facility to use for any student away during the summer.
We had a problem getting into the storage unit, and Steve responded IMMEDIATELY. He was kind, patient, and solved our issue right away. Thus far, working with Ames West Side Storage has been hassle-free and very easy.
