We asked Guardian Storage Solutions<br />
a few questions about their business.<br />
1. When and how did you get<br />
into the self-storage or real<br />
estate industry?<br />
Steven Cohen opened the<br />
first Guardian Storage in the<br />
East Liberty/Shadyside area<br />
nearly 35 years ago in 1987.<br />
He discovered real estate<br />
development and establishing<br />
a brand as the ideal outlet for<br />
his high energy and creative<br />
spirit. Within the broad space<br />
of development, self-storage<br />
provided an opportunity to<br />
take what had been viewed<br />
as a low-quality category<br />
and create something different<br />
that would dramatically<br />
improve the perceptions and<br />
value of storage.<br />
2. Where is your facility or<br />
business located?<br />
Guardian currently has 20 storage<br />
properties in the Greater<br />
Pittsburgh area and 11 in Colorado<br />
in the cities surrounding<br />
Denver.<br />
3. How do you use your truck<br />
rental program?<br />
We offer free use (except for<br />
a $20 insurance waiver fee) of<br />
our trucks to tenants to facilitate<br />
the move in process.<br />
