Florida self-storage operator Hide-Away Storage has opened its second automated Xpress Storage facility in Parrish, Fla., according to Steve Wilson, managing partner. The property comprises about 400 storage units and 40,000 square feet, and uses a self-serve kiosk for rentals.

The facility opened in June and is the second Xpress location Wilson has developed in the Sarasota area. The Xpress concept focuses on customer convenience and smaller footprints, with locations placed closer to residential areas than typical self-storage developments, according to a press release.

In addition to 24-hour access, the Parrish facility offers drive-up garage spaces and air-conditioned units.

Hide-Away owns 10 other self-storage facilities in Southwest Florida and opened its first Xpress property in 2010.
