SMARTBOX of New Orleans Acquires
Local At Your Door Self Stor Location

RICHMOND, Va., April 15, 2008 – SMARTBOX, one of the fastest-growing portable storage and moving companies, today announces that its New Orleans franchise has acquired the Louisiana location of At Your Door Self Stor.

“We’re thrilled at the opportunity to expand our reach and strengthen our business,” said Charlie Fonville, co-owner of SMARTBOX of New Orleans. “We feel that we’re the perfect solution to rid your home of clutter or store your stuff during a remodel, home staging or even moving. We also provide a smarter solution for businesses looking to manage inventory more effectively or looking to transfer old files offsite.”

SMARTBOX, founded in 2003 and one of Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500®, arrived in New Orleans in late 2005 when co-owner, Lisa McKenzie’s convention-focused business was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. As she left her home, business and dreams behind to evacuate, McKenzie believed there would be a huge need for storage and started SMARTBOX in New Orleans.

SMARTBOX has recently expanded to Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Jacksonville, Fla., Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Raleigh, N.C., San Antonio and West Palm Beach, Fla.
