What a fabulous opportunity. Here in our beautiful white winter GO MINI’S MN was able to donate one of our portable storage containers for a great cause. GO MINI’S was loud and proud out front of the Coldwell Banker Burnet Real Estate Agency waiting to accept the donations of toys from all the wonderful people in the community.
We just received a letter from the Branch Vice President Ken Johnson thanking us for our support and to let us know that they received over 750 toys for local children in need at the event held on Saturday, December 5th. “We are so fortunate to have such wonderful support from our community.”
These toys were donated to TOYS FOR TOTS by the agents & friends of Coldwell Banker Burnet’s Minnetonka/Excelsior offices as part of the annual “Trees for Toys” event. GO MINI’s MN Portable Storage was proud to be a part of such a heartfelt charitable cause.
See you next year!!! Happy Holidays

The heavy wet snowfall that has fallen on Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Rockland Counties, NY last night was followed by heavy rainfall. This lead to “ponding” of water in several areas and is causing basement flooding across the entire region. In some instances, there have been some flat roofs with water backing up and coming in through roofs. The result is flood damage and a big mess for home and business owners.
Go Mini’s has dispatched several of its weather proof portable storage units this morning. Restoration companies as well as home and business owners have called looking for immediate delivery. Call volume began to slow down from early this morning when flooding first began to occur. Perhaps Ulster County in the northern area of our service region will start to see flooding. The snow lasted a bit longer there.
We are thankful for the continued business from our restoration companies and wish our new customers from this morning good luck in dealing with these floods. Our Go Mini’s stand 8 inches off the ground so the items they put in the Mini will be safe. But we have cautioned them to keep snow from building up around the Mini just to be sure there are no chances of water rising above the 8 inch ground clearance. Do any Go Mini’s dealers have any stories of flooding after a snow storm? Let us know.

Last week my husband, Dirk Stevens and I were invited to one of the largest ServiceMasters Restoration Companies that serve the Minneapolis area, celebrating their new warehouse.
ServiceMasters is one of many restoration companies that has been using our GO MINI’S dealership for over 3 years now and I asked them why they used GO MINI’S ? The answer seemed universal amongst all our restoration companies. They said it was simple…we were easy to do business with! They loved working with a locally owned agency. A one-minute phone call with their purchase order, the delivery address, when they needed it and where to place the portable storage container and the transaction was done.
Our clients have more than enough to do when there is a water or fire emergency and know that we understand a sense of urgency. All our restoration companies have our home phone but do not abuse it. Having a vendor’s home phone makes a statement about our commitment.
GO MINI’S has been a fantastic fit for restoration companies.

Well it’s that time of year again! The annual TOYS FOR TOTS program is about to kick off. GO Mini’s, along with the Marines in the Tulsa, OK area, have once again joined together to assist in providing the community with a safe place to bring toys for the area’s children. GO Mini’s has delivered 2 containers to the Marines headquarters located in Broken Arrow, OK and they are getting ready to start collecting all the toys for the local children.
This is the third year that GO Mini’s has joined the Marines in this effort. GO Mini’s knows that without the support and encouragement of the Tulsa, OK and surrounding area, we would not be the success we have come to be. GO Mini’s also stresses that with the economic roller coaster, as it has been in the prior months, there are alot more families unable to provide the gifts for their children as they have the years before and we all know the joy of seeing our childrens eyes light up on Christmas morning when they see that special gift. Let’s remind them all that we are a community that helps our fellow neighbors through all hard and good times by participating in the local TOYS FOR TOTS.
GO Mini’s has a facility located in Broken Arrow, OK and is a proud partner with the TOYS FOR TOTS program and again, encourage anyone that is able to help our children to please do so. We also would like to wish everyone an upcoming safe and happy holiday season.

Now that school is back in session and the leaves are falling , it’s time to get a Go Mini’s to pack up all that lawn furniture and bulky patio items and clean up the Garage so you can get the car in for the up and coming winter. We can store it back at our site until you need it again in the spring. It is out of your way and just a phone call away when you are ready for it after the winter. No climbing into the attic or trying to hang things from the rafters. It’s just that easy. Go to www.gominis.com to get a quote. We are here to help you with your fall clean up and winter storage needs.

Well its that time of the year again! Fall has now begun and the kids are going back to school. The days begin to get shorter and shorter and the weather begins to cool down while the leaves start to fall, causing a beautiful display of colors. What better time to begin the winter storage with a Go Minis Portable Storage Container.
Go Mini’s is a unique and revolutionary new idea in the self-storage industry. A self-storage container is brought to you by way of a simple phone call, you load the container at your pace, don’t worry you have as much time as you want. When your ready Go Minis will pick it up and store it at our Climate-Controlled Secured Location or move it to another location and when you need it back, its just another phone call away.
As the season begins to change and the days become shorter, now is the time of the year to start thinking about the up and coming holiday season so let Go Mini’s declutter your home, clean out the garage, and prepare for the new season, remember, you never know when the unexpected family member turns up at your front door!
Check out www.gominis.com, or call 1-866-GoMinis when you want Renovate, Move, or Declutter. A Go Mini’s portable storage container may be the thing to get your feet off the ground and start making headway. Remember there is no better time to call as the kids are now Back in School! Don’t freeze with the daunting task of relocation or renovation. Order a Go Mini’s portable storage container and get started by taking the load of “what am I going to do with all this stuff” off your shoulders.

This world is an unpredictable place. If you are a business owner or a manager for a large corporation, you know how change (either planned or unplanned) can dramatically affect your operations. Change will come, and it can either seize up the gears or induce growth and exploration into new areas. Go Mini’s portable storage units can provide great solutions for many facilities issues and changes facing your organization. Go Mini’s portable storage containers can be delivered to your business to help with many things such as moving, renovations, storage, customer care, and emergencies.
If your business needs to pack up and move, Go Mini’s is the perfect solution to move your office to another location. Call Go Mini’s and they will have either a 12ft, 16ft, or 20ft container delivered to your location. You can then take as much time as you need loading the container and when you are finished, call Go Mini’s back and they will pick it up and store it or move it to your new location. Doing this can save you the time of going back and forth with a truck and save you the money of hiring professional movers. Go Mini’s is truly the best solution for any business needing to move.
In addition to moving, if you are renovating your office or shop, order a Go Mini’s portable storage container to safely store your furniture, products, and paperwork while you renovate your location. This is so much easier than hauling all of your items to a self-storage unit and more secure than piling your things in the parking lot. For even more security, we can store your things at one of our secure locations while renovations take place.
Go Mini’s can also aid your business by providing emergency response services. Our portable storage units can help you manage transitions associated wit fires, flooding, hurricanes, tornados, or other natural or man-made disasters. Many businesses face harsh weather conditions and need their items to be safely stored. Go Mini’s portable storage containers are made of weather proof steel that provides ideal protection from the elements. Or, you may not be in the path of a tornado or hurricane but a water pipe simply broke. Go Mini’s is perfect for storing your inventory while the problem is resolved.
Check out www.gominis.com, or call 1-866-GoMinis next time your business is facing changes. A Go Mini’s portable storage container may be the thing to get your feet off the ground and start making headway. Don’t freeze with the daunting task of relocation or renovation. Order a Go Mini’s portable storage container and get started by taking the load of “what am I going to do with all this stuff” off your shoulders.
