Aberystwyth is set to get a major new storage hub after a fast-growing firm announced plans to open in the town.
Lock Stock Self Storage, the UK’s largest container-based storage company, will launch the new site near Rheidol Retail Park in the town.
It will offer more than 100 storage units in a range of sizes which can be used for everything from household clear-outs and student belongings to tools, equipment and stock for small businesses.
The company says its model is already helping thousands of tradespeople and entrepreneurs cut costs and save time. Around 30 per cent of Lock Stock’s units across more than 30 UK sites are used by small businesses.
Each site offers secure, seven-day access with CCTV and gated entry with units at 10, 20 and 40ft in size.
Operations manager Mike Trow said:
“For small businesses, our units can solve real storage headaches. People can bulk-buy stock at discounted rates, store it securely, and collect what they need each day.
“It can be short-term and you can give it up when it suits you, you are not committing to a particular term, you just tell us when you want to give it up.”
Lock Stock also expects strong demand from students. The site is just a short walk from the university, and the firm offers seasonal discounts for students.
“The site is right next to the university there and there is always demand from students for storage over the summer, so that will serve that purpose well,” said Mike.”
Founded in Denbigh in 1999, the firm operates sites across Wales, the North West and Border Counties. Under its expansion plans, the company will have 38 sites across the UK by 2026.
