A hobby shop in a self storage facility?
You are undoubtedly aware of the traditional self storage facility. There are storage spaces of various sizes, and customers rent those spaces by the month. In those storage units they store furniture, business inventory, sometimes vehicles, boats, whatever they don’t have room for at their home and/or business. The units rise in price according to size, and some have amenities like climate control for delicate items which can be affected by extreme temperatures.
That’s how it worked in the self storage industry for almost seventy years, until recently, when some enterprising storage owners came up with the idea of making some storage units available as small shops where people could manufacture products or simply work on their hobbies, away from the distractions of home.
An idea was born and it has been a successful idea.
What you can expect to pay.
At Mouser Self Storage we offer storage units from 12 x 30 to 24 x 40 hobby shop space for lease. All come with electricity, lights and 24/7 access. Some units include 220v electricity. If you have outgrown working on your hobby at home, give us a call. No long-term contracts. Month to month lease.
The hobby shop spaces are perfect for someone who does woodworking, rebuilding or repairing a car or anything that needs extra space with electricity.
The cost? It differs from storage company to storage company, but you can expect to pay somewhere in the $400-$800 neighborhood, depending upon the size of the unit, a cost which is considerably less than you would pay for traditional industrial space in most cities.
What are the limitations?
The biggest limitation involved with this sort of arrangement is the stipulation that you cannot operate a business from the hobby shop. You can manufacture products for your business, which is located somewhere else, but that actual transactions must be carried out in that other location. Other limitations are consistent with the limitation for all storage units: you cannot have explosive, illegal substances, perishable substances, weapons, or anything which local ordinances do not allow.
Quite frankly, this is a great idea for a small business owner, or home-based business owner, who does not have enough room at home for their business activities. It is a great idea for a hobbyist who has taken over the spare bedroom and/or living room of the home. It is an idea which is sure to make the spouse happy and keep a relationship strong 😊
