To raise awareness and usage, storage facilities must become a more familiar part of daily life, on par with parks or convenience stores in terms of visibility and accessibility.

The Storage Service Market (Rental Storage and Container Storage

1) Rental storage services are those services operated mainly by real estate agencies to lend indoor rooms and spaces, that sometimes are within a storage-only building, where individuals or corporate bodies can store things.
