New UES Storage Business Offers Valet Pickup

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A new storage business on the Upper East Side is giving neighborhood residents the ability to opt out of the "self" in self-storage.

STORE, which recently opened its first storefront location at 1290 Third Avenue, between East 74th and 75th streets, is offering its customers a valet pickup option for storing unused items, according to a business press release. The service is free for Upper East Siders living within approximately five blocks of the store and offered at a $25 fee for residents living as far as East 63rd Street to the south and East 84th Street to the north, according to the business' website.

While valet pickup may be a unique offering, STORE is much like any other self-storage business. Customers can rent out either storage bins or a dedicated storage area and pay a monthly rate to store their under-utilized stuff.

"We saw a real need for an affordable storage NYC option on the Upper East Side and knew we would be able to execute our plan to create one that was a win-win for all involved," a company spokesperson said in a press release.

Pricing begins at $6 per month for a single bin and increases based on the amount of space rented, according to a press release.
