FETCH STORAGE TO TRIPLE WAREHOUSE SPACE
ANGEL FUNDING ENABLES BUSINESS TO GROW
Boston, Mass. – October 15, 2006 – Fetch Storage, the only provider of full service property storage to homes and business, today announced is has secured funding needed to triple the warehouse storage space and increase employees. The funding comes from angel investors – some new and others existing investors in Fetch Storage.
In business for nearly four years, the current warehouse space for Fetch Storage is nearing capacity. The recent infusion of funding will allow the company to triple its storage space to accommodate increased demand and ensure sufficient excess space to avoid customer waiting lists. Additionally, the funding will support hiring of new employees needed to meet customer needs, including deliveries.
“I am extremely excited about the funding and what it will enable us to do for our customers” said Brian Farrell, general manager, Fetch Storage. “Tripling storage space for customers is tremendous, and with the new employees we will be able to guarantee the two-hour delivery window to all of our new customers.”

Pricing and Availability
When compared to traditional storage providers – self-storage and POD storage which charge a base of $105-$122/month space rental – starting at just $59/month with no hidden costs, Fetch Storage is more cost effective. In addition it is convenient, and offers greater peace of mind. As soon as items are packed, the customer does not handle them again until they request their return. “Gone are the days of rummaging through storage bins or getting a whole POD delivered back to your house, for a fee, to get your stuff,” notes Farrell.
Fetch Storage currently services Boston proper, and its suburbs inside Route 128. The monthly service fee is based on cubic feet of storage required and number of personal deliveries throughout the year. |
