019 - Contractor, Lot & Yard Storage w/ Chris Long of Longyards

Self Storage Playbook

In this Episode I chat with Chris Long. Chris started his first location of Long Yards in Canada, and has since expanded to the US. Chris’ model with long yards is a unique blend of yard and lot storage geared to both small and large operators and small businesses.
Chris gets into his proprietary model that he is franchising and discusses this lucrative niche.
Chris started in the trades as a young dad at 20 years old, and continued for over 12 years. Bought his first house in 2012, converted it into a duplex, second house in 2015, did the same thing, then he purchased my fist commercial property in 2017, on Bank Street (Longyards first location).

He cut the ribbon to open Longyards October 2019, & leased up the yards and had boats and RV's by the end of the year! He was for the first time exceeding his expenses with cashflow each month.

In all started with a dream and a vision, and the will to not give up.

Long Yards not just mini storage, they're storage for the big guys, the small businesses, and everyone that needs a yard.
