Why Pods?
Traditional mini storage facilities can be limited to a five to seven mile radius for potential service and are usually built only after completing time and feasibility studies. Also, this process requires costly permit fees. PODS breaks through traditional mini storage barriers and penetrates into conventional mini storage markets. PODS franchises are able to service a market within a 25 mile radius from the warehouse. Since PODS offers delivery to the warehouse, expensive, high profile real estate is not necessary. PODS units are stackable, so you can maximize your space by three times the traditional warehouse potential. It all adds up to more money to the bottom line.
