He described the self-storage industry as having evolved beyond life-change events into a year-round business, with customers using storage as an extension of their homes. Middlebrooks stated that the company plans to continue investing in its platform, people, and technology, and noted that self-storage has been resilient through economic downturns and the pandemic, serving as a low-cost solution for consumers facing uncertainty. In a September 2023 interview, Middlebrooks, then Vice President of Third Party Management, discussed the normalization of vacate rates after the pandemic and the seasonal nature of self-storage.
