OpenTech Alliance Inc. today announced that Shurgard
Storage Centers Inc. (NYSE:SHU), a leading self-storage real estate
investment trust (REIT) in the United States and Europe, installed
INSOMNIAC(TM) self-storage kiosks at four of its facilities in the
Chicago area this last December. The new INSOMNIAC kiosks, located in
downtown Chicago, Willowbrook, Bolingbrook and Dolton, are a second
round of kiosk purchases after a successful pilot at several Shurgard
facilities in Arizona earlier last year.
"After seeing INSOMNIAC kiosks work at Shurgard facilities in
Arizona and how they have improved business, we were eager to install
them in the Chicago area," said Jeff Szorik, regional vice president
for Shurgard. "We're extremely excited about their ability to
facilitate additional rental income outside normal office hours while
providing added customer convenience."
"We're delighted our relationship with Shurgard continues to grow
and expand," said Robert Chiti, OpenTech's president and CEO. "We're
happy to be working with innovators like Shurgard to bring the
benefits of self-service kiosks to self-storage operators. We believe
INSOMNIAC will do for self-storage what ATMs and boarding pass kiosks
have done for the banking and airline industries."
OpenTech Alliance Inc. is the leading developer of self-storage
