Episode 2: Is Storelocal Storage Worth It? Let's Talk ROI

In Episode 2 of The Power of More Podcast, Travis Morrow, CEO of Storelocal, sits down with three Storelocal Storage operators at completely different stages — Dane Elefante, COO of Platinum Storage Group with 40+ facilities across eight states; Pam Dominique, a 20-year operator running facilities in California and Hawaii; and Drake Schmid, a first-time developer who built ground-up at Lake of the Ozarks. The question on the table: is the investment in Storelocal Storage worth it? They get into the real numbers — organic leads, P&L allocation, lifetime tenant value, and what it actually costs to compete with the REITs without the brand and technology behind you. Drake breaks down how he ran an 84,000 square foot facility with one manager from Puerto Rico for a month. Dane explains why Platinum turns down third-party management contracts when properties won't join Storelocal. Pam talks about letting go of a brand she built herself. Three different operations. Three different markets. Same conviction. Learn more about Storelocal Storage at storelocal.com.
