Why Hildebran residents store with us
- Closer than the south-Hickory chains for the US-70 corridor. Public Storage's Tate Blvd facility and the Extra Space facilities are further east on the south side of town. For Hildebran customers coming east on US-70, our Northwest Hickory location is a straightforward stop.
- Drive-up access to every unit. Pull right up to your door — no carts, no elevators.
- Larger units for trades and rural-property storage. Hildebran is largely rural-residential with a strong working-class community — trades, contractors, and small businesses. Our 10x30 and 20x30 units work as a small commercial bay for tools, equipment, work-truck overflow, or business inventory. Drive-through (double-door) options on some larger units help with awkward loads.
- RV, boat, and vehicle parking. Lake Hickory weekend access, Pisgah forest day-trips, fishing boats — our fenced outdoor parking handles RVs, boats, jet skis, motorcycles, and trailers with 6 AM to 10 PM gate access.
- Locally owned, transparent pricing. When you call (828) 322-2323, a local team member picks up. No bait-and-switch promo rates.
