Modern Storage® Wins the Storage Units Category
We're excited to share that Modern Storage® has been named the 2026 AY Innovative Home Award winner in the Storage Units category. Being recognized alongside Arkansas businesses serving homeowners across dozens of categories makes this an especially exciting honor for our team.
What Are the AY Innovative Home Awards?
AY Magazine's Innovative Home Awards recognize businesses across a broad range of home-related industries. The 2026 winners span categories including homebuilding, remodeling, landscaping, organization, moving, home security, furnishings, outdoor living and storage.
Modern Storage® was selected as the 2026 winner specifically in the Storage Units category.
More Than a Place to Store Your Belongings
From the beginning, Modern Storage® has worked to change what customers expect from self-storage. We believe the experience should feel clean, professional, convenient and welcoming from the moment someone contacts our team or walks through our doors.
That philosophy influences everything from the design and upkeep of our properties to the technology and customer conveniences we continue to introduce.
- Clean, professionally maintained facilities
- Modern and welcoming office spaces
- Convenient technology and access features
- Climate-controlled and traditional storage options
- Business-friendly storage solutions
- Professional amenities at participating facilities
- A real team available to help customers find the right solution
Recognition That Belongs to Our Team
Awards may have the Modern Storage® name on them, but they're earned by the people behind that name. Our managers, assistants, operations team, sales team, maintenance team and leadership work every day to keep our facilities running at the standard our customers expect.
From keeping properties clean and welcoming to answering questions, solving problems and helping customers through moves and major life transitions, our team is what turns a storage facility into the Modern Storage® experience.
Thank You to Our Customers
We also wouldn't be celebrating this recognition without the customers and communities that continue to choose Modern Storage®. Whether you've rented with us for years, recently moved into your first unit, referred a friend or simply recommended one of our facilities, you've played a role in our growth.
Continuing to Raise the Standard
We're proud of the recognition, but we're even more excited about what comes next. Modern Storage® continues to look for ways to improve our facilities, technology, amenities and customer experience while growing the brand that started right here in Arkansas.
Being named the 2026 AY Innovative Home Award winner in the Storage Units category gives us another reason to celebrate how far we've come—and even more motivation to keep raising the standard.
