Mobile Storage Versus Self Storage

The Grand Rapids Press reports, “Moveable storage containers are growing in popularity, and one local entrepreneur has big plans for the business he started here in the fall, MyWay Storage. Company founder Bryan Houck said mobile self-storage is beginning to take a bite out of the $22.6 billion self-storage industry. In 2000, $75 million was spent on mobile self-storage while, this year, it is projected to be $700 million, he said.”

With magazines and franchises springing up, it looks like a battle brewing between self-storage and mobile storage at some level. Could it be possible that mobile storage has done a good job educating the market about its benefits while traditional self-storage has stood by and watched? I’ll let you decide. What are your thoughts?
