About Us: The Story of Manhattan Mini Storage

Let’s face it: space in New York City is tight. Really tight. We're talking "if I move this chair two inches, it might just knock over the pile of clothes on the back of it" tight. And while we can’t change the size of your living room, we can definitely help you make a little more room to breathe.

That’s where Manhattan Mini Storage comes in. We’ve been a staple of the New York City landscape since 1978 with several locations across the city, Brooklyn, Queens, and even New Jersey (we’re growing all the time)! We’ve seen it all— a stack of celebrity cardboard cutouts from the '90s, a life-sized statue of a poodle wearing a tutu, a real moose head, and everything in between. We’re the largest personal storage provider in the city, and one of the largest in the U.S., because New Yorkers really need storage that bad.

But we're not just about renting out units. We're about giving you space to live your best life without worrying about where to stash that extra winter coat or the wedding gifts you’ll never use. Our locations are secure, climate controlled, and easily accessible to our customers. And we pride ourselves on offering flexible, affordable options without the long-term commitments to meet any need and budget.

World's Funniest Storage

New Yorkers don’t do fluff. We’re busy, we’re blunt, and we like to have a laugh while we’re at it. That’s why our billboard ads have always reflected the unique, cheeky spirit of the city. From witty one-liners about your cramped closets to punchy billboards that stop traffic (literally and figuratively), we’ve been making sure we’re always part of the conversation—and sometimes, even sparking it.

We’ve had some of our ads live rent-free in the heads of the public—and even the President. Remember when we made some cracks about Michele Bachmann’s presidential run? Or our viral board poking at Prince Andrew that had folks across the pond clutching their pearls? Our approach is bold, fearless, and undeniably New York. We’re not afraid to tackle the issues that matter to us—whether that’s closet space or politics—always with our signature sense of humor.

But it’s not all about laughs. We’re committed to doing good for the community, too. Our “Vote for Manhattan Mini Storage” campaign in 2024 partnered with Rock the Vote, helping to raise awareness for voter registration during the election season. Because let’s face it, New Yorkers know the importance of showing up and making your voice heard. Whether we’re cracking a joke or championing a cause, we’re here to make an impact.

So yeah, we like to make you laugh—but we also like to make sure you remember the name Manhattan Mini Storage.
