Ways You Can Support Your Local Businesses During A Pandemic

/in /by

Why the pandemic means we need to support local businesses more than ever.

Everywhere we look big brands and big box stores are on display. While these large companies have the money to buy online ads or billboards it’s small businesses that most impact on our local community. And it’s small business that has been mostly impacted by the pandemic.

Small businesses color and enrich local shopping by providing unique products and services that make our local communities great places to live. No one wants to live in a neighborhood where unique local stores are replaced with For Lease signs. These small businesses also provide the lions share of employment and often employ people we know. These are our neighbors, friends, and family so it makes sense to support them, and during the pandemic, it’s more important than ever that these businesses survive for the health of our communities.

Here tips on how to support local businesses: Read more

Feeling Overwhelmed While You Work At Home?

/in /by

Feeling overwhelmed while you work at home? Getting organized can help you take back some control and get clear on what work tasks should take priority. Not all of us have Marie Kondo’s instinct for organization, so where should you start?

  • First, find a separate space in you home for your home office. If you have no space choose a corner in the living room or take over the dining room. If you are considering making a work space in your bedroom, I recommend getting a room divider of some sort to separate the work area from the sleep area. Seeing your place of work while you are trying to wind down and trying to sleep is not good for you psychologically.

What To Expect Your First Time

/in /by

What to Expect Your First Time
It’s your first time renting a storage unit and you want everything to go right. Problem is – you’ve never
done this before and you are not really sure what is involved. Here’s some advice from someone on the
inside…..
Before you arrive at the storage facility it’s a good idea to ask what methods of payment they accept.
Also ask if you are eligible for any discounts (senior, student, etc.) and be prepared to show id as proof
of eligibility. At the least you will have to pay for your first month’s rent and buy a lock for your unit. If
the facility you chose requires a damage deposit, admin fee, charges for a gate fob or supplies the lock
the amount will vary. Either way you have to pay for the use of the unit in advance.  Read more

WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM
CUSTOMERS WHO ARE HAPPY
WITH THEIR SELF-STORAGE
EXPERIENCE

Thank you. It was a pleasure dealing with you…you were most helpful! We will definitely consider your facility in the future should we require a storage facility.

My rental basement flooded and we needed to get my tenants belongings out asap. I called Lacombe Storage and they were very knowledgeable and able to help me in a timely manner by getting us a portable unit to our yard. We kept it for a couple months and had clear communication with them at all times. Super friendly to deal with and I highly recommend anyone to them for your storage needs!

Very affordable and simple. And very kind people to talk to. Highly recommend this Storage lot. We used it for our RV never had a issue. Only reason not continuing service is because our new place has room for our rv to be parked. Thanks so much Lacombe storage!

Very friendly staff who made my day – Quick and convenient, willing to work with my schedule and have everything in order to make moving a breeze! Highly recommend

Have used Lacombe Storage twice now. Sue at Lacombe Storage Center is always friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure service is great.

Everything is so clean you guys did an amazing job I am so impressed!

Excellent service and communications. Accommodating. Thanks!

I appreciated the service I have had with Lacombe Storage Center. The staff is very welcoming and they will answer all the questions you may have. I recommend doing business with them. Thank you Lacombe Storage.

Friendly and very accommodating services. Would highly recommend to anyone. ~ regarding unit storage

My experience here was excellent, good service. ~ regarding RV storage

I came in to rent a storage locker and didn’t really know anything about rental units. I couldn’t believe how helpful and friendly Sue was. I will recommend Lacombe Storage to anyone looking for storage units. The best customer service I have received in Lacombe to date! Sue was amazing.

A few years ago we rented a mobile storage container from you. When it was delivered, the driver was excellent and he was able to maneuver it through a tight spot to drop off the container.

I have never had to use a storage unit but Lacombe Storage Center and Sue Sage have been a huge part of our community. I have the Lacombe community group and they are always posting or commenting offering help to Lacombe residents. They have played a huge part in our community and deserve to be recognized for all they do.

Lacombe Storage has been very helpful, you are always quick to respond and your prices are great. Thank you so much for the lovely experience. Lacombe Storage has been amazing.

Thank you so much, I’m really happy with the service I received and will for sure recommend to others.

I was impressed with your business model- service, information brochures, details and follow up.  Well done! Thanks! ~ regarding portable storage unit

We have used Lacombe storage foe a year now and find their facilities perfectly maintained. They took extra steps in protecting all of their customer’s belongings by upgrading locks which saw as an above and beyond action on their part. The staff are great and I love the email payment reminders that save me forgetting my rent.

Thank you… you guys have been a godsend for us while we were finding a home, thanks again.

Thank you once again for the use of your wonderful storage containers. As I prepare to receive my shipment of 10,000 visitor guides for 2017, easy storage and access is a life (and back) saver.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Sue and crew…. you walk in to store your stuff… and you walk out feeling like you made a new best friend 🙂 great job Sue and prices are amazing too…. keep up the great work guys.

Thanks for everything these last few years. Really great service and enjoyed talking with everyone there.
