Former Kroger, Harris Teeter is now Universal Storage Solutions
The former location of Kroger and Harris Teeter grocery store on Jonestown Road in Winston-Salem has been transformed.
Universal Storage Solutions has transformed the former 53,000-square-foot Harris Teeter grocery space into a first-class, climate-controlled, self-storage facility. The new facility contains approximately 550 climate-controlled units, plus an additional three enclosed dock-high exterior units. Adding a mezzanine to the interior created a second level, giving the project a total of 71,000 square feet of rentable space.
It is a prime example of recycling an existing building into a more useful and better-suited purpose, says partners in Universal Storage Solutions and real estate veterans, Gary Pharo, AJ Ross, David Dixon, and Ron Crowell.
The project, which opened in January, has met with great success, they said. Not only does Universal Storage Solutions offer state-of-the-art self-storage, but it also offers a complete business center to support the growing needs of their commercial customers.
Industry veteran Dixon, VP of Development for Universal Storage Group (USG), oversees the operations and management of this project.
Universal Storage Group is based in Smyrna, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta.
