Valley Storage Co., which operates 22 self-storage facilities in six eastern states, has acquired Sure Safe in Denver, N.C., its first in the state. The property at 1697 NC-16 Business will be rebranded as Valley Storage, according to a press release.

The 80,000-square-foot facility comprises more than 460 climate-controlled and drive-up units as well as vehicle-parking spaces. It’s near Lake Norman, the largest man-made body of fresh water in the state.

Valley plans to add new signage and update the facility website to include online reservations and billpay capabilities, the release stated. The site will be managed by Storage Asset Management Inc., a York, Pa., property-management and consulting company.

“We are looking forward to being able to expand into the North Carolina market, continuing our high standard of customer service in self-storage,” said Todd Snook, who owns Valley with his wife, Tina.

Based in Hagerstown, Md., Valley opened its first self-storage location in Williamsport, Md., in 1986. It currently owns more than 1 million square feet of storage space in Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
