Todd Flannery has new services to offer with the opening of his latest business at 111 Locust Street Flannery\u2019s Handymen, his moving company, has been serving the community for more than 20 years, and Flannery has now added his brand-new storage facility, Boston Street Self Storage, to his portfolio.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The property where the facility is located had already been owned by Flannery, as it was used to house his moving company\u2019s vehicles. The previous building was brought down and the 12-year process of constructing a new, state-of-the-art facility began.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n With the help of his brother, Rory Flannery, and Flannery\u2019s Handymen Office Manager Shannon Coffey, Todd Flannery aimed to distinguish Boston Street Self Storage from its competition by avoiding negative aspects that he said most storage facilities suffer from.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe go to a lot of storage facilities, they\u2019re disgusting,\u201d Todd Flannery said. \u201cThere\u2019s rats, there\u2019s homeless people sleeping in the units, the elevators don\u2019t work\u2026 no customer service whatsoever.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Instead, he said, his facility has features such as consistent customer service, clean restrooms, climate-controlled interiors, 24-hour access, 50 surveillance cameras, and solar energy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou want to send your mom to this place,\u201d Todd Flannery said. \u201cIt\u2019s safe.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One of the main inspirations for opening the business came when clients of Flannery\u2019s Handymen expressed dissatisfaction with other facilities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe do 100 moves a month and half of them want to go to storage,\u201d Todd Flannery explained. \u201cWe would recommend places and there would be terrible service, and then that reflected on us.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Now, Flannery\u2019s Handymen can refer its customers to its own storage business.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Since its launch in late summer, more than 100 clients have utilized the 507-unit building. Todd Flannery said that approximately 70% of them come from referrals by Flannery\u2019s Handymen, while the remaining 30% learn about the business from advertising and word of mouth. The facility offers units of six different sizes, the largest of which is 10 by 30 feet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Todd Flannery hopes his name and reputation will help Boston Street Self Storage earn the community\u2019s long-term trust.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
