A Local Family Business
The Owners
Goleta Valley Mini Storage was built In 1990 by Ron & Nancy Hays. On opening day in 1990, we had just over two hundred units available. Now, 20 years later, we have grown to be the second largest storage facility in the Santa Barbara area. Because we are a local family business, we pride ourselves on being able to offer the best, and most personal customer service available. In addition, we strive to be among the most professionally operated facilities in the country. With our latest "State of the Art" security and electronics systems, our computerized cross referenced data base, and on-site security personnel, we make it a point to provide you with the most professional operation available at the best value in town. As a result, our tenants receive personal attention in a professional environment. We look forward to helping you with all your storage needs, and thank all of our satisfied customers for voting us the #1 storage facility in Santa Barbara year after year.
The Hays Family & Staff
Property Management
Today Goleta Valley Self Storage is run by the 2nd generation of the Hays's Family, Jan Marco and Joanna von Yurt. They continue to run the business the way it has always been; as a family with a strong attention to detail and keeping up to date with technology. Although Joanna works mostly behind the scenes, you will always see Jan at the facility fixing something or helping customers. With his Swiss and Engineering backgrounds, he brings a level of perfection to even the most basic details. They take great pride in the business and strive to make sure all our customers are well taken care of. They are also the proud parents of two young girls.
