Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating Attic Storage as our Member of the Month!



Our Chamber of Commerce is delighted to recognize Attic Storage as our Member of the Month for October! We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on a business that provides not only an essential service but also works to support communities beyond our borders.


Attic Storage offers a variety of secure self-storage solutions designed to meet both residential and commercial needs. Whether you're decluttering your home, moving, or need a secure place for business inventory, they have convenient options like standard storage units, drive-up access, and climate-controlled units. Committed to providing clean, secure, and accessible spaces, they offer customers true peace of mind.


What truly impressed us is the company’s commitment to making a positive global impact. Attic Storage proudly partners with Café Juan Ana, a program that supports local coffee producers and their families in San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala. This initiative is a beautiful example of a direct trade model, ensuring that the coffee growers receive a significantly higher, fairer price for their high-quality crops, which in turn strengthens their local communities through economic opportunity, health, and education.


You can experience this mission firsthand! Attic Storage not only sells this impactful coffee on-site but also offers a free bag of this special Guatemalan blend with every new storage rental. It’s a wonderful way to welcome new customers while ensuring every transaction helps support communities in need.

Attic Storage is a valued and essential part of our business community, providing solutions that help keep our homes and businesses organized while demonstrating a wonderful sense of global responsibility. We are so glad to have them as part of the Chamber family.


Be sure to congratulate Monique and her team at Attic Storage when you see them, and keep them in mind for any of your personal or business storage needs!
