I’ve been creating content for years but this was my first episode of the Nick Huber show. At the time, we had 24 self storage facilities, 642,000 square feet, and almost 5,000 units (4,930) Bolt Storage was operating in four different states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New York. Our operations division had 9 employees and our acquisitions division had 4.
