Through integrity, hard work, and 25 plus years of experience; Prato Self Storage Management Solutions is here for owners and developers of storage facilities that are an investment and not their main job.

With guided programs proven to work in operations, branding, and much-needed skills in the storage industry, you gain the upper hand in your markets and are able to compete with the national chains that are swarming the marketplace. Prato Self Storage Management Solutions doesn’t ask you to change your name or become part of a national chain. Independence is key in many markets and people prefer to do business with local businesses, not the national chains. All that’s needed is a safe, secure facility with reliable staff. A facility that people trust. And that’s you. With Prato Storage Solutions, we ensure those qualities, giving you the upper hand within your community.
Meet Our Founder James Prato
I’ve worked in the storage industry from the ground up. I’ve seen so many changes over the past 20 years. I want to help owners and developers of storage facilities progress to what they imagined when they began investing in storage. I’m in a unique position to help many storage owners and developers who are looking to increase their business and make it better. Some know how to take it to the next level, some need a little guidance and some don’t know that there is another level. It’s heart breaking to see owners and developers sell their facilities only a few years later because it was not what they had expected and watched their investment fail. Prato Self Storage Management Solutions was formed in 2020 to fulfill that need for storage owners and developers, to excel in an ever changing industry. With operational knowledge of the storage industry, we help protect and grow your investment.
