Welcome to Shurgard Self Storage leader in Europe
Thanks to its innovative expertise and customer-oriented approach, Shurgard has attracted over 90.000 customers to more than 170 self torage facilities in 7 countries in the European Union. Shurgard has stores in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The Shurgard phenomenon began in the American state of Washington in 1970 when founding partner Chuck Barbo discovered a gap in the market: Shurgard would provide individuals and businesses with extra space in mini-warehouses to store their excess belongings or their long forgotten records or documents.
In 1992 Shurgard began to expand into Europe and in 1995 the first European store was opened in Brussels (Forest). Since August 2006 Shurgard collaborates with Public Storage, the world’s largest owner and operator of self-storage facilities with over one million customers and more than 2,100 stores.
Shurgard’s main focus is to create a premium network of purpose-built storage centres in the most visible, accessible locations. Our symbol and trademark is the lighthouse: it represents security, light and vision, and leads the way to a safe environment for storing your belongings.
All Shurgard stores are staffed with customer-focused professionals dedicated to providing superior customer service. Shurgard’s core values - service, security, reliability, convenience, cleanliness - are prized by European customers as much as their American counterparts.
The success in Europe is testament to their ability to offer these values in the service they provide. The growing network of Shurgard stores will build on this success, enabling them to maintain their position as the leading light in providing self-storage services on both sides of the Atlantic.
