7 Outside storage: We wish to store RVs, boats, trailers, etc., in the two side lots. Inside storage: We are seeking to be a climate-controlled, self- storage facility. We would like this to be a climate-controlled storage facility consisting of units to store things in, not necessarily limited to household goods but also to store merchandise for those business waiting to be mailed or taken to off-site stores, or displays waiting to be shipped to a trade show or markets, etc. It might be considered a holding facility to some degree. We wish to be a facility which companies can have merchandise shipped to and either come pick up themselves or have us deliver them to their business or residence or ship smaller orders to their customers. There are a lot of neighborhoods that a tractor-and-trailer or other delivery vehicles are not permitted. By having a dock, that makes this an ideal drop-off for a lot of different items. We would like to be a Retail Shipping Center that customers could send their orders to us to package and ship for them. This is becoming a new market. Unlike the UPS store, we would do the packing and shipping for people or companies. We wish to be able to utilize our dock for whatever. We are the only facility in the area that has a dock for receiving or shipping freight. We received and shipped freight during the time our business was open. This would attract very little traffic and would be a very low-key operation. We shipped FedEx at one point in our business. It is our goal to be a good neighbor. While big box stores try to be everything to all people, they come up short. I feel we could fill a market that is not available in the Denver Area. The area has changed considerable and a lot of people work from offices in their home but do not have the storage capacity for the business they are in. They may be a manufacture rep. It might be samples, it might be brochures, or any number of things related to their work. I feel this would be a market that could be utilized by those people. We also have a shop and a shed that we would like to utilize to meet whatever storage needs may arise.
