Located right along Philadelphia's Route 1, Extra Space Storage's Roosevelt Boulevard facility is one of the most accessible storage facilities in all of Pennsylvania. Its neighborhood features a unique blend of large businesses and suburban charm, with several parks, country clubs and even a racetrack and casino within easy driving distance.
“We're right in the middle,” says Glen Zimmerman, the facility's Site Manager. “And we're incredibly easy to get to.”
Originally opened in 1996, the facility has served several purposes. Before being purchased by Extra Space Storage in 2004, for example, the building was home to an indoor flea market. Now, with nearly 900 units at his disposal, Zimmerman's Extra Space Storage facility is home to a variety of clients. Its rentable spaces come in all shapes and sizes, from standard 5x5's all the way up to areas of 1,000 square feet. Zimmerman counts several well known local names among his patrons.
“I have a very diverse group of people,” he says, “a lot of businesses, a lot of homeowners looking to clear some clutter. There's a lot of landscapers, too, looking for parking spaces for their equipment.”
The Roosevelt Boulevard Extra Space Storage facilty shares its surroundings with several large companies, including Kraft Foods and the Pepsi Bottling Group. Due to the large number of employees at these facilities, the area also features a variety of charming residential neighborhoods. When the work day is done, a large portion of the population heads a few minutes up the road to Parx Racing and Casino, featuring live horse racing, poker tournaments, and all the classics of the gaming scene.
And, of course, where there are people, there is someone to feed them. There are a pair of restaurants in the immediate area, both of which have drawn positive reviews from the locals. Boulevard Dinner dishes out large portions and quality renditions of traditional American fare, while Steve's Prince of Steaks serves up some of the tastiest cuts of meat in the city. Both are within walking distance of Zimmerman's Extra Space Storage facility, less than a mile to the south east.
