SMARTBOX to Open Franchise in Denver

Portable Self-Storage Firm Celebrates Recent Openings in Jacksonville, Baltimore

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 11, 2006 – SMARTBOX, a leader in portable self storage, today announces it will open a franchise in Denver and surrounding areas in late February. The announcement comes on the heels of SMARTBOX bringing its simple and smart storage solutions to Jacksonville, Fla., and Baltimore, which both opened for business in the past couple of weeks.

“Our new Denver franchise will be able to service nearly 4 million people from Fort Collins to Boulder and Denver to Colorado Springs,” said Dusty Rhodes, Director of Business Development for SMARTBOX. “Our portable and easy-to-use storage solutions bring a new level of convenience to the self-storage or moving process.”

SMARTBOX enables residential and commercial users to pack and load their belongings – from holiday decorations and extra furniture at home to important documents and seasonal inventory at work – at their convenience in containers that are 8 feet long, 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide and can hold the contents of up to 1½ rooms (3,000 pound capacity).

When they’ve finished packing their Smartboxes, they can call SMARTBOX to pick them up and deliver them for storage in one of its secure warehouses or for moving to another location through its SMARTCARE service. Some users also store their Smartboxes at their existing site.
