The Buzz about Morningstar

Ready to get your garage back? It’s time to take your business to the next level by working with the pros to have your storage needs met.

For these three local entrepreneurs, their business doors wouldn’t be open without their storage unit and the support from their Morningstar Storage team, who offer so much more than a place just to simply store their stuff.

Stay organized

Marci Kahan of Hudson Staging Group, LLC who has been featured on NBC’s “Open Houses NYC” says, “The Morningstar Storage unit helped me organize my business so I can pursue my goals. Organization and structure can help all potential businesses get off to a great start, whether you use it to clear space at an existing office, organize inventory, or to go after your dreams of starting a new business.”

Marci had been staging homes in NYC for years as part of her realty business, when moving to Charlotte she decided to pursue her dream and make it a company – and Morningstar helped make that happen. She stores furniture, accessories, plants, art work, and more that can fill an entire house at a moment’s notice.

Expand your inventory and reach

Need a place to store 15 mattresses? Fran Scarborough does. Fran’s company Carolina Center Staging, has grown substantially since leasing a warehouse three years ago.

Needing to store mattresses, box springs, outdoor furniture, and decor she says, “We only needed a few hundred extra square feet of storage, so when Morningstar Storage opened on Tyvola Road, it absolutely was a life-saver.” Expanding your inventory, according to Fran, can be crucial to your success.

Follow your dreams

Carlo and Quovardis Lawrence owners of QC Consigns agree – they run their online consignment company that ships worldwide from their Morningstar Storage unit on Tyvola. QC Consigns buys and sells everything from luxury handbags to coffee pots, that they photograph and categorize in their unit.

Carlo says, “We use Morningstar for a number of reasons, the facilities are clean and well-kept, and they have great security. The staff are courteous, professional and helpful in assisting with any requests. The facility is easily accessible 24-hours.”

Find your community

You may be surprised by just how much some storage units offer these days.

Marci says the Morningstar floors are so clean you could probably eat off them.

Carlo says the free moving truck service is amazing. And, “Morningstar Storage also has a meeting room which can be utilized for clients, and provides delivery of goods to your unit which avoids extra trips for my delivery team.”

Fran sums it up well: “Who cares if you rent a storage unit these days, right? Morningstar does. They suggested the perfect floor and storage unit for us, which our movers can easily access in the back. They provided a way that my employees have access to keys, and a free van when we need it. It was a like a dream come true.”

Whether you’re just getting started with your business, or are ready to take things to the next level, work with the pros at Morningstar Storage and they’ll be there for you all along the way.
