We see a typical Hickory mix of customers: Catawba Valley Community College and Lenoir-Rhyne University students storing dorm contents over breaks; Hickory-area households moving in or out, downsizing, or holding furniture during a renovation; contractors and tradespeople using larger units as contractor garage and flex space outside their primary location; small businesses storing inventory, seasonal merchandise, or job-site materials; and residents along the US-321 and US-70 corridors who want secure storage with quick highway access for boats, RVs, and trailers.

All units are drive-up. Gate access is 6 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week. We require a disc lock — any quality disc lock from Lowe's, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Walmart, or Tractor Supply works ($15-$20). No security deposit, no long-term contract, month-to-month with a simple 30-day move-out notice. Locally owned — when you call (828) 322-2323, a local team member picks up.
