Whether you’re a downtown business owner seeking to store your excess inventory or a Warner University college student wanting to store your belongings, Storage Zone in Lake Wales has the solution to your storage needs.
For 25 years, Storage Zone has provided a diverse, affordable selection of units to meet the storage needs of any customer. They offer units of various sizes and features ranging from warehouse to office-sized, climate-controlled to non-climate-controlled, and even covered parking with electricity.
Originally a nurse from New York who moved to Lake Wales in 2002, Natasha Cosgrove started as a renter at the facility before the former owners offered her the opportunity to take over.
“The opportunity arose,” Cosgrove said. “The owners were leaving and looking for someone to take over. I thought it would be a great challenge. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.”
Cosgrove owes her success over the past quarter-century to customer service. Her motto is that Storage Zone is where “strangers become like family.” Such quality customer service has allowed her business to thrive for as long as it has, and she hopes it will continue to thrive for many more years to come.
“I think that is what draws people to us,” she said. “They know we have affordable storage, a safe and secure facility, and the fact that strangers trust us to keep their belongings safe…I really believe that is what drives Storage Zone, it’s that people continually come back to us for helping them and being here.”
Storage Zone will be celebrating its 25th anniversary with an open house on Mon. Sep. 15. The facility is located at 1250 SR 60 West in Lake Wales.
Cosgrove recently appeared on the Chattin on the Ridge podcast to discuss her experience with Storage Zone. Listen to the full episode here: https://shows.acast.com/chattin-on-the-ridge/episodes/ep-67-storage-zone-lake-wales-wnatasha-cosgrove
