The National Self Storage Alliance was founded in 2010 as a not for profit marketing cooperative to allow independent, professional, self storage operators the ability to come together under a unified brand and benefit from the nationwide recognition of National Self Storage and the Shield logo. As the only not for profit cooperative in the self storage industry, the National Self Storage Alliance’s mission is strictly the growth of the brand across the country and the creation of value for its members. As a member of the Alliance, these operators, not only continue to provide excellent service and value to their communities, but they retain the autonomy of their business all while operating under a national brand with a global internet presence on par with the larger, publicly traded, self storage industry giants.
