What Loknstore offers
How Loknstore compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Loknstore.
Loknstore vs Big Yellow
Big Yellow is one of the larger UK self-storage chains, positioned around individually alarmed units and PIN-code access at each store. It is generally found in and around major towns and cities, and is used by both households moving or decluttering and small businesses needing stock or archive space.
Loknstore vs Safestore
Safestore describes itself as the UK's largest self-storage group by store count, with a heavy concentration inside the M25. It is used across the same personal-and-business mix as its main rivals, and also trades in several other European countries.
Loknstore vs Storage King
Storage King operates a network of UK self-storage sites alongside a third-party management business for other facility owners. It targets the same personal and business storage market as the larger chains, with a wider range of unit sizes than some rivals.
Loknstore vs Shurgard
Shurgard is a pan-European self-storage operator with a sizeable UK network, aimed at the same mix of personal and business storage customers as its listed UK rivals. Its 2024 acquisition of Lok'nStore makes it one of the larger groups by combined UK site count.
