Watonga Self Storage was originally called Jane’s Storage.  It was on “A” Street by IGA.  Jane started it in the 70’s.  George Moore bought it in the 90’s and expanded it by converting the old Star Motel on Russworm.  First, the units were turned into apartments and then into storage units.  He converted the truck stop west of town to units and also built new ones on that site.

Terry and Kaye McGuire bought the units from George Moore in April 2005.  Terry went to school at Greenfield where he graduated in 1976.  Before moving to Watonga, Terry worked in musical programs at church while selling real estate in California.  His singing talents have pleased Watonga crowds many times!   Kaye worked as an R.N. before Watonga. If you ask Kaye where she is from, you will get a question.  “What year?”  But she mainly claims Houston and Nashville.

Besides all the outside units, Watonga Self Storage has indoor storage units available at their office location at 204 W. Main.

Terry and Kaye have a few more stories to tell about the hurricane in August of ‘07 than most of us.  Their house blew away and they spent a few hours in a water-filled ditch before being found; but Terry still remembers how bizarre it looked when they got back to town and drove down Oddfellow Street and saw “A Building” with its contents stacked up perfectly, even though the building was gone.
