A Stora Case Study
GB Storage is a high-tech self storage facility in Oldham, UK, serving Royton and nearby areas. As a startup launched by former airline pilot Karl Walker, GB Storage needed a way to run an unmanned facility, manage bookings efficiently, and avoid relying on developers or a large team while building a profitable new business. It chose Stora’s self storage software to help simplify operations and support its self-service model.
Stora provided GB Storage with a user-friendly platform, strong support, and pre-opening mode so the business could take reservations before the facility was finished. This helped GB Storage open with customers already lined up and manage the site remotely from day one. Within four months, GB Storage reached over 50% occupancy and was at least 18 months ahead of schedule for profitability, while also reducing the need for external services like accountants, marketers, and software specialists.
