Most side hustles start small.
A few boxes in the spare room. Some stock stacked in the garage. Orders being packed at the kitchen table once the kids are in bed.
Then slowly, without you really noticing, the business grows.
The hallway has parcels in it. The spare room is no longer a spare room. You are stepping over inventory to get to the washing machine.
That is the point many families start looking for space.
Here is how a few founders are using Big Yellow Self Storage to make that shift.
Drumazon – Flexing Space as the Business Grows
Drumazon sells drum kits and accessories online. Like many side hustles turned proper businesses, stock levels change throughout the year.
Founder Mark explains:
“We love Big Yellow because we can open more space or close space down to suit our stocking profile at different times of the year.”
That flexibility matters when you are growing. You can take more space when sales increase and reduce it when things calm down. No long commitments. No paying for space you do not need.
For families juggling work, kids and a growing business, that kind of simplicity helps.
KR Sabers – Peace of Mind
KR Sabers creates custom lightsabers for collectors. The products are specialist and valuable, so security was a big concern.
Owner Khal says:
“Before discovering Big Yellow, I was concerned about finding a safe storage space.”
When your stock represents months of work and serious money, you need to know it is safe. That peace of mind lets you focus on building the business, not worrying about what is sitting in your garage overnight.
Rusbenja Pops – Getting Family Space Back
Rusbenja Pops began as a hobby selling collectibles. As orders grew, so did the piles of boxes at home.
Owner Ben Russell shares advice that will hit home for a lot of parents:
“To anyone interested in turning a side hustle or hobby into a business, I would recommend taking space so that work does not encroach on the rest of your life.”
That line says it all.
Side hustles are exciting. But family space matters too. Whether you are selling trainers, trading cards, handmade candles, baked goods or vintage toys, there comes a point where the house needs to feel like home again.
Moving stock out can be a real turning point.
A Small Step That Changes Everything
For many families, taking storage is not about going corporate. It is about creating breathing room.
It means:
-
Fewer boxes in the kids’ bedrooms
-
No more packing orders on the dining table
-
A clear line between work time and family time
Sometimes growth is not about hiring staff or launching a new product.
Sometimes it is simply about making space.
