Delivering to McGregor from our Garnavillo yard
Thirteen miles from Garnavillo. For a Main Street business closing up for the winter, having the container brought to the shop door and filled where it stands beats loading a van over and over — that is the McGregor case for delivery. For a boat going away till spring, just drive it in.
Route measured 24 minutes (13 miles) via US-18 and IA-340 from the center of McGregor to the facility address — not straight-line distance. Rather drive and save? Self storage at our Garnavillo facility.
Storage in McGregor, IA
A tourist river town below Pikes Peak, with a seasonal business cycle.
McGregor is a town of about 740 that hosts a great many more than that every summer. Pikes Peak State Park sits above it on a 500-foot bluff overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi, and Effigy Mounds National Monument — more than 200 prehistoric mounds — is seven miles north. Main Street runs to antique dealers, specialty shops and booksellers, several of which trade from May to October and then close for the winter.
A seasonal retail town has a storage problem most towns don't: stock and fixtures that need somewhere to live for five months of the year, every year. Add the recreational gear that comes with living on this stretch of river and you have the two things McGregor customers most often bring us. The Garnavillo yard is 13 miles away, roughly 24 minutes on the river road.

When portable in McGregor beats driving to Garnavillo
Honest version: portable wins when the time-cost of repeated trips to Garnavillo adds up. The flip happens roughly when you'd load and unload more than 4–5 times during the rental period. Below that, self-storage at our Garnavillo facility is the cheaper play.
- Active home move — load over weeks, not one weekend
- Renovation — stash a room's contents in your driveway, then put it back
- Storm cleanup or insurance work
- Contractor job-site that lasts 1–6 months
- Long-term stash (12+ months) where you visit once or twice
- HOA or city ordinance bans driveway containers
- No flat ground for a 20-foot container at your address
- Looking for the lowest possible $/mo ($65 vs $100 annual)
