Reports indicate that the Self Storage (also known as Mini Storage) Industry in the United States made over 12 Billion Dollars in 2013. It seems that people are getting more and more stuff, and loving it all too much to let it go!

On the other hand, here in the Philippines, the first and biggest self storage warehouse facility actually started by accident.

Brothers Mark and Carlo Coronel were helping out their mom store her office files. She apparently had way too much and needed extra space to store all the excess documents and materials. This is where the brothers came up with the idea to cut their bigger warehouses into smaller sections and rent out the mini storage spaces.

“We found that the demand was definitely there for self storage in the Philippines,” said Carlo Coronel.

Apparently, there are a lot of Filipinos who have needed the self storage service in Manila but just did not have any options.
