  • #136. The Large Warehouse Space

    In today’s episode, we are continuing our newest series with the Large Warehouse Stage and all that comes with that. When you think you are ready to transition into a larger warehouse space for your rental business, there are so many things to consider. Are you actually producing as many or enough events to help cover the overhead? With a larger space comes a larger price tag. Also, is your landlord or leasing office a good fit for you and your business? It is key that you work with people who have your back, especially if you face an unprecedented situation. 

    We are excited to chat about what this looks like, and what the transition feels like, and we have some advice on things to help set you up for success. Trust us, we have been in business for a long time now and have experienced many styles of storage spaces, units, and warehouses.
