The Shader Brothers, Ron and Stan, built their first self storage location on John Young Parkway in Orlando, FL in 1982. In just three years time, the Shader Brothers' reputation yielded several more central Florida locations. The brothers knew their vision meant continued growth, and in planning for that growth, they formed Shader Brothers Corporation in 1984.
Today, the business is operated by Laurie and Marc Smith, the next generation of the Personal Mini Storage family. Like a strong family, we're proud of what we've accomplished together, but we're not satisfied to rest on our success.

We are very pleased on how well the storage units are taken care of. We put our items in storage 7 years ago and everything we pulled out of our containers was in perfect condition. Having temperature control was a MUST. We have solid oak. And every piece was absolutely in perfect condition. Thank you for the great care for our things. Whoever rents from here will not be disappointed!

All I can say about the managers Mike and Nina is "wow." These two should be the role models for the management of all businesses. They are warm and welcoming and are really just a super nice couple. Salt-of-the-earth folks. We had a tricky situation last night and needed help in gaining access to the storage unit. Since we didn't have the right key with us, Mike used his special skills in getting us in there.
We had some really important merchandise in the unit which we desperately needed to retrieve. Mike did the job as a true professional. The storage units are clean and tidy and if you're lucky, you can hear the band practicing while you're rummaging through your personal belongings. Remember, storage is a luxury. Don't be afraid to pay for it. Also, no need to worry about any creeps living in those units. They keep a tight eye on security. Mike & Nina, great Americans and patriots!

If I could give a negative star I would, I've had 3 different storage units with this group over the last 5-6 years! I called the week before my payment was due to let them know I was moving my belongings to south Florida where I now live, I had been storing items for a year. I had previously spoken to LuAnn, mgr and was told I needed to give 2 weeks notice, I knew I was coming 4 hrs to get my items a week after payment due, giving 2 wks notice as I was told to do.
All fine when I got Nicole on this call. A few days before I came up to Orlando I called her again, told Nicole I got a text my payment was due, she'd told me before don't worry about payment until you were sure what day you were coming in so I thought all was fine. I arrive on a Sunday and not only am I locked out of the gate, have movers waiting w me, my units overlocked and I couldn't get in touch w anyone.
I finally had to pay the full month instead of pro-out like I was told via answering service, he told me the gate would open in like 5 mins, 1 he later I still couldn't get in. Ashley whom I had a unit with 5 yrs ago showed up 2 hrs later and unlocked my unit. I told her I would call on Monday to get this straightened out and I did. Nicole told me she didn't know why I was locked out, I shouldn't have been! Yea ok, I was a district manager with a storage group about 10 years ago so I know the drill. Nicole DM offered to refund my late charge ha!
And when I left a message for him, he didn't even have the professional courtesy to return my call! I did what THEIR employee told me to do, these calls are recorded too, I know this for fact! If they give you instructions you better have it in writing because you can't trust them at their word so buyer beware! I will never do business with them again! And will advise everyone I know not to either!

The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. The location is clean and safe. I always felt my belongings were secure. I appreciated the gate system and the improved ease of access with the app to open the gates. It was nice to have access to carts to move items in and out of storage to the car. This place more than exceeded my expectations for a storage facility.

I've been in the mobile tool business for 7 years. I've rented several parking spots and storages around the Orlando and Fort Lauderdale Area. this Personal Mini Storage takes the cake. The office staff and ground manager greats me with a smile, responds quick to my questions. It's very clean and well taken care of. The grounds manager is always around with a helping hand. I'm thankful I found this location as my business grows, and because of the service I will always refer this location!

I used to love this place but then they changed management and apperantly there corporate business practices. We have been harassed about violations we were never even told about. Now theyre sending out code enforcement booklets to people. Every time I come out I see rows of cars with flat tires or inoperable. I couldn't care less except they harass me on a regular basis about mine.
They assumed two brand new tires were flat because there was a cinder block under the car. Don't y'all know a flat tire when you see one? Rent keeps going up. And now something I just bought disappeared from under my car. A low clearance car with a baggy car cover on it. You can't even see under the car unless youre down there checking tires. And the only people who would be doing that are the people that work there. I will change my rating if I get my property back.

I would like to personally give a shout out to Sharon who is very accommodating and nice to give us every option to make sure that we had all of our wants and needs met. She made sure that we were hydrated and brought us water and worked with us beyond any expectation. Being from out of state Sharon is a good example of Floridians. As far as our two U-Haul rentals she helped us return those very easy and painless. Thank you again to personal mini storage and Sharon for your hospitality.
