Main Street Storage in Niverville is under new ownership. The business is now operated by Greg and Derek McKnight, the owners of Storage Brothers.
Cara and Ray Dowse of Niverville had owned Main Street Storage since 2013, when they started by building a few test lockers in an older building on Main Street. Over the years, the site continued to expand. It now sits at 3.5 acres.
As their storage facility grew, the Dowses began to realize that the industry was simply not their passion and they decided to focus on other commercial and development projects.
The McKnight brothers had reached out to the Dowses several years ago to let them know they would be interested in purchasing Main Street Storage if it was ever put up for sale. When the Dowses decided to sell, they took the McKnights up on that offer.
“Our dealings with Storage Brothers throughout this process has been nothing but positive,” the Dowses say. “We are confident that customers will be in very good hands. They are experienced in the industry, as this is their eighth location. But they are also good people who are looking to ensure their clients will be looked after.”
The McKnight brothers say that they look forward to serving the community of Niverville and intend to provide the same high level of customer service to which the clients of Main Street Storage are already accustomed.
Storage Brothers has been in business since 2020 and has locations in Taber (Alberta), Kenora (Ontario), Lac du Bonnet, Winkler, Lorette, Ste. Agathe, and La Broquerie.
No action is required for current customers of Main Street Storage. Monthly payments will continue uninterrupted through the transition of ownership.
