Star Metro - NationWide Self Storage Launches New Business Storage Advantage Program

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / As operating costs continue to rise and commercial space becomes increasingly expensive, more entrepreneurs across British Columbia are turning to self-storage as a flexible, cost-effective solution for managing inventory, equipment, tools and business supplies.

Industry research and business trends indicate that self-storage is no longer used solely for personal belongings. Today, it has become an important resource for contractors, tradespeople, online retailers, healthcare providers, property managers, home-based businesses and service companies looking to reduce overhead while maintaining the flexibility to grow. Canada's economy is powered by approximately 1.08 million small businesses, representing more than 98% of all employer businesses, many of which are looking for practical ways to control costs as they expand.

"Today's entrepreneurs are looking for smarter ways to grow," said Lynn Gueguen, Regional Director at NationWide Self Storage. "Rather than committing to expensive warehouse or commercial leases before they're necessary, many business owners are choosing self-storage to securely store inventory, equipment and supplies while investing more of their capital back into their businesses."

Small Businesses Are Finding Smarter Ways to Grow

Business owners are increasingly using self-storage to organize and protect:

• Inventory and merchandise

• Tools and equipment

• Seasonal products

• Office furniture

• Marketing materials

• Business records and archives

• Trade show displays

• Shipping and packaging supplies

Instead of paying for more commercial space than they need, entrepreneurs can rent only the storage space required today and expand as their business grows.

Industries Driving Business Storage Demand

NationWide Self Storage has seen growing demand from businesses including:

• Contractors

• Electricians

• Plumbers

• HVAC companies

• Landscapers

• Restoration companies

• Property managers

• Realtors and home stagers

• E-commerce businesses

• Healthcare professionals

• Event companies

• Mobile service businesses

"Many successful businesses begin in a spare bedroom, basement or garage," Lynn Gueguen added. "Self-storage often becomes the next step, giving entrepreneurs the space they need to grow while keeping operating costs under control."

NationWide Launches Business Storage Advantage Program

• $100 IN-STORE CREDIT toward moving boxes, packing supplies and moving essentials

The program is designed to help businesses reduce operating costs while providing secure, flexible storage that can adapt as their needs change.

"We recognize the important role small businesses play in our communities," said Lynn Gueguen. "Our Business Storage Advantage Program is our way of helping local entrepreneurs save money, stay organized and continue growing with confidence."
