November 10, 2020

Metro Self-Storage, which operates various facilities across Atlantic Canada, is constructing a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled, drive-through facility in the Bayer's Lake Business Park that makes rentals, reservations, and payments seamless via onsite rental kiosks in addition to its website, according to a press release.

The location at 138 Chain Lake Drive will feature 120,000-square-feet of storage over four floors.

"Over the past several years we have invested heavily in modernizing our facilities and expanding our online operations to provide industry-leading storage solutions for our customers via our Akiba software," Bruce Shannon, vice president of Metro Self-Storage, said in the release.

Metro Self-Storage's locally developed software, Akiba, makes rentals, reservations and payments seamless via the website and on-site rental kiosks. The Akiba software is used by hundreds of facilities in three different languages across Canada, the U.S., Europe and South America.
