Beyond grateful to have found this incredible location for my sound system company. I stopped in to tour an open unit they had in their drive-in access area and the manager, Katherine, took her time to answer all my questions and show me the space. Within a few days, I reached out wanting to lock in the unit and the whole rental process was smooth. I know how storage units go, where prices increase over time but we are happy to have taken advantage of locking in our current rate for up to 2 years with Katherine as well! Overall, LOVE our drive-in access for upcoming winter gigs which will allow my sound crew to work comfortably loading/unloading gear. Love our 24/7 access as well. Excellent accessibility to local truck rentals and to highways to reach all our gigs on time. Hope to stay awhile here!Akemi Almeida![Storage Units for Rent available at 2074 Mannheim Road, Des Plaines, IL 60018]()
