Storage Rent Increase
Did Your Storage Rent Just Go Up, Again?
You Have Options. Let Us Help You Find Them.
Did you recently receive a notice that your storage unit rent is increasing again? Maybe the second, third, or fourth time this year? Are the increases getting bigger and bigger? You're not alone.
When a storage facility is taken over by a new owner or management company, we've heard stories of steep monthly rent increases that can happen several times a year.
But you don't have to simply accept a higher monthly storage bill.
Bring us your current storage rate, and we'll compare it with our available storage options. If we can offer you a comparable space for less, we'll let you know on the spot. It's that easy!

Your Storage Facility May Have Changed. Your Options Haven't.
Over the past several years, larger storage companies and private equity firms have started acquiring existing self-storage facilities, which means one thing: make as much money as possible.
You may recognize names such as Public Storage, Extra Space Storage, Prime Storage, CubeSmart, and other large storage operators.
When a storage facility changes ownership or management, customers often quickly notice changes to pricing, fees, policies, and how they communicate with their storage provider.
A big rental rate increase (and many to follow) is frustrating — especially when you've been a loyal customer for years.
If you're not happy with your new rate, it may be worth seeing what else is available.

At Store In A Wink, we're proud to be locally owned and operated. We're not a national storage corporation, private equity firm, or call center. We're your local storage team, and we believe you should be able to reach a real person at the facility when you need help.

What If The Facility I'm Storing At Recently Sold?
It's becoming increasingly common for storage facilities to change ownership.
If your facility was recently purchased by a larger storage company, you may have received a notice about a rental increase or other changes to your account.
That doesn't necessarily mean you need to move — but it's always worth knowing your options.
Whether you're currently renting from a large national storage company, a regional operator, or another local facility, we're happy to help you compare storage rates!
You Don't Have to Choose Between Price and Personal Service

Finding a lower storage rate is great. But we think storage is more than the number on your monthly bill.
You should also be able to:
Talk to a real person- Wendy will know you, and you will know her!
Get help when you need it.
Feel confident about where your belongings are stored.
That's the kind of storage experience we've strived to provide over the last ten years.
Ready to See If We Can Beat Your New Rate?
Don't move your belongings just yet. Let us compare your new monthly increased storage rate with what we have available.
Call or send us your rental increase notice, your unit size or space size, whether it's climate-controlled, and any other important features about the space.
After having that, we will let you know if we can beat the new rate!
Send us a message or call to get started!

A Note About Storage Rate Increases
We want to be upfront: storage rates do increase from time to time.
We're a business too, and we understand that operating costs for a storage facility keep rising. Property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, security, and other operating expenses all affect the cost of providing quality storage.
At Store In A Wink, we typically review our rates annually and may make adjustments when necessary. Our goal is to keep those increases reasonable and modest while continuing to provide a safe, clean, and well-maintained facility.
What we've become increasingly concerned about, however, is seeing new and long-term storage customers experience multiple significant storage rate increases in a relatively short period of time, sometimes as quickly as two months after move-in. We do not believe that's the kind of experience that builds long-term relationships or trust with customers.
We want to be good stewards of the storage industry and of the customers who trust us with their belongings.
That means operating responsibly, communicating openly, and making thoughtful decisions that allow us to run a sustainable business without losing sight of the people we serve.
If your storage rate has recently increased beyond what you're comfortable with, we'd be happy to see if we have a better option for you.
