SMARTBOX to Open Franchise in San Antonio

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

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 14, 2006 – SMARTBOX, a leader in portable self storage, today announces it will open a franchise in San Antonio to service the entire metropolitan area. The announcement comes on the heels of SMARTBOX announcing a new franchise in Denver and bringing its simple and smart storage solutions to Jacksonville, Fla., and Baltimore, which opened for business in the past few weeks.

“San Antonio represents our entry into what we believe will be a fruitful Texas market,” said Dusty Rhodes, director of business development for SMARTBOX. “We offer portable self-storage and moving solutions that are not only affordable, but also convenient.”

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.
