STORExpress tenants will utilize the Boomerang Automated Self Storage system by driving up to one of six ground floor loading bays, approach an access door and enter their specific access code into a keypad. After an average 90 second container retrieval time, the automated roll-up door unveils the tenant's personally locked storage unit. When the tenant is done loading or unloading his valuables, the system returns the storage container safely back inside the facility where it is inaccessible without the tenant's personal security code. Key features of the storage facility include a patent pending Padlock Plus(TM) security system that allows access to locker units only with entry of the proper security code, a safe and attractive common area adjacent to STORExpress, climate controlled insulated units and the convenience of drive up access to all units.

"This is a win, win, win for STORExpress and ourPittsburgh self storage customers. We maximize the usage of our land, offer a unique option that caters to the self storage consumer who wants the very best, and we generate a stronger brand marketing message," says STORExpress owner Steve Mitnick.
