Stor-It’s History

The company started with a professor teaching a business class at Boise State in the areas of real estate and finance. He loved to teach his classes by using real life examples and encouraged his students to apply those to what he was teaching.
One day some students came to him and said they had found a piece of property to invest in. The professor was excited but asked his students a few business-related questions to ensure they were serious. They wanted to acquire a property on Mitchell Street in Boise, Idaho and put storage units on it. This was laughable at the time but did spark an interest of the professor. The professor believed in his students, and they all took the risk.
Stor-It Self Storage was started in 1972 by this professor and four of his students. As the students graduated and moved on, they were bought out by the professor, and he continued to grow the business with his family every step of the way. Now, he even has his grandchildren working by his side in the family business!
