Canadian Self-Storage Operator Strathroy Mini Wins Chamber ‘Small Business Award’

Strathroy Mini Storage Ltd. in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada, received the “Mainstreet Credit Union Small Business of the Year Award” from the Strathroy & District Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented to facility co-owner Sue Looman at an Oct. 24 gala at the Portuguese Canadian Club.

Strathroy Mini opened two years ago after Looman and her husband recognized a need for more storage in their community. As the owners of senior-living townhomes, they noticed many residents who were downsizing needed storage but the facilities in their area were full, Looman said in a YouTube video. 

The chamber’s annual “Business Excellence Awards” showcases and celebrates businesses in five categories. Nominees in the “Small Business” category must be chamber members with up to 15 employees. They’re expected to excel in “providing outstanding service to their customers on a consistent basis” and demonstrate a commitment to the community. They must also promote excellent management and employee relations through training and development. The chamber has recognized and celebrated community businesses and their achievements since 1998.

Strathroy Mini offers climate-controlled and drive-up storage, and outdoor vehicle storage.
