Frequently Asked Questions

Browse the questions below — each answer is written to be clear and direct so you can make a confident decision about your storage needs.

  • What makes Fairgrounds Self Storage different from other storage facilities?

    Fairgrounds Self Storage is a locally owned indoor, one-level storage facility housed in a converted building with deep community roots — the former home of Scores Fun Center bowling alley. Unlike multi-story facilities, everything is on one floor, which means no elevators, no stairs, and easy, straightforward loading. The building features bright lighting, wide hallways, secure access, and video surveillance. We combine the convenience of a modern storage facility with the friendly, personal service of a local business.
  • Why should I choose indoor storage instead of outdoor drive-up units?

    Indoor storage protects your belongings from direct exposure to sun, rain, wind, and temperature swings. Because your unit is inside the building, items like furniture, electronics, clothing, and documents are shielded from weather damage year-round. Indoor facilities also tend to have controlled lighting and monitored access, adding an extra layer of security compared to outdoor units that are accessible from open parking lots.
  • Why does one-level storage matter?

    One-level storage means your unit is on the ground floor — no elevator waits, no stairwells to navigate, and no freight elevators to coordinate when you have large items. This is especially important when moving heavy furniture, appliances, or boxes. It's more convenient for older adults, people with mobility concerns, and anyone doing multiple loading trips. One-level access is one of the most underrated features in self storage, and it's one of the things our customers mention most.
  • How do I reserve a storage unit?

    You can reserve a unit online at any time by visiting our Available Units page and selecting the size that fits your needs. The reservation process is simple: choose your unit, complete the short form, and you're confirmed. You can also call us directly to reserve over the phone or to ask questions before committing. Walk-ins are welcome during access hours as well.

  • What items can I store in my unit?

    You can store most household and business items including furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, sporting equipment, tools, seasonal decorations, electronics, and documents. Items that cannot be stored include hazardous materials, flammable liquids, perishable food, live plants, animals, and anything illegal. If you're unsure whether a specific item is allowed, just give us a call and we'll let you know.
  • How secure is the facility?

    Fairgrounds Self Storage uses a layered security approach. The facility has video surveillance cameras covering key areas, controlled gated access so only active renters can enter, and bright lighting throughout the building's hallways. The entire facility is enclosed and monitored. We take the security of your belongings seriously, and our indoor one-level layout means there are no isolated stairwells or blind spots common in multi-story facilities.
  • How is pricing determined, and are there any hidden fees?

    Pricing is based on unit size and availability. We aim to be transparent about our rates — what you see on the Available Units page is what you pay. We do not believe in surprising customers with hidden fees. If you have a question about what's included in your rental or want to discuss pricing, call us or use the contact form and we'll give you a straight answer.
  • What are the facility access hours?

    Access hours are designed to be convenient for renters. Please contact us directly or check the current listing for up-to-date access times, as hours may vary by season or special circumstances. We're committed to making your storage experience as accessible as possible.
  • Is the storage facility climate controlled or temperature regulated?

    Our indoor facility offers a significantly more stable environment than outdoor units because the building itself buffers against extreme heat and cold. If you have specific concerns about temperature-sensitive items like wine, artwork, musical instruments, or electronics, please contact us to discuss what protection is appropriate for your situation. We'll give you an honest answer about what our facility can offer.
  • Is Fairgrounds Self Storage conveniently located?

    Yes. The facility is located next to the County Fairgrounds, making it easy to find and accessible from major nearby roads and neighborhoods. We serve customers within a five-mile radius including local homeowners, apartment renters, small businesses, military families, students, contractors, and people in the middle of a move or home renovation. Search 'self storage near the Fairgrounds' and you'll find us.
  • What is the story behind the building?

    Before becoming Fairgrounds Self Storage, this building was home to Scores Fun Center — a local bowling alley where generations of families bowled league nights, celebrated birthdays, and made memories. We've preserved and repurposed the building rather than demolishing it, and we're proud of its community history. You can read the full story on our From Strikes to Storage page.
