From first site plan to open for business: Storage Authority’s Land O’ Lakes location shows how a system can guide a self-storage project through every stage. Exploring your next investment? #SelfStorage #FranchiseOpportunity
Most self-storage deals are won or lost at the land stage. At Storage Authority, every franchise owner works through the same six-step land review before committing to a site:
1. First meeting with the town planner and staff
2. Individual land parcel data worksheet
