Announcing:
New e-newsletter from Western Storage

We are extremely proud to introduce our first e-newsletter. Coming out quarterly, our e-newsletter is designed to provide important information about the products and services available at Western Storage.

We will also use this e-newsletter to share information on the best practices for utilizing mobile storage. Over the 35 years we have been in business, our network of clients throughout Western Canada have brought forward novel uses for mobile storage. We are hopeful we can effectively communicate these ideas back to you through this letter.

We have all witnessed the impact China has had on Canada's economy. In the past couple of years, many established manufacturing and retail/wholesale businesses have considered importing finished goods from China via the Port of Vancouver (POV).

Western Storage containers At Western Storage, we have helped many clients accomplish this goal as we confidently take possession of railway-owned containers coming in from the POV and cross dock the contents into storage trailers that reside in a secure yard compound. Our clients save hundreds of dollars in demurrage charges and are happy to call for the loaded trailer when required.

We have broken ground on a brand new facility in Winnipeg. Our new location will be 1300 Dugald Road. This is only a five minute drive from our current location. Our new facility will boast modern cross dock capabilities (see the above picture), as well as, a secure compound to store our client's loaded storage trailers. Construction on the front of the building is still underway. We expect to move in by December.

This past spring we ran the 1st ever Western Storage playoff hockey pool. Our winner, Josh Reid of Ideal Plastics located in Edmonton won a $250.00 gift certificate to his favourite restaurant, Earl's.
