When Kristen Allen, CEO of BloomBridge, embarked on her mission to honor her grandmother's memory by delivering silk flower arrangements to gravesites, she never anticipated the logistical challenges she would face. BloomBridge, born out of a promise to ensure no one is forgotten, quickly grew, necessitating a reliable storage solution. This search led Kristen to Storage Choice in Long Beach, Mississippi—a decision that would profoundly impact both her personal and professional life.

Kristen Allen and the Bloombridge Journey

Kristen Allen is not just a businesswoman; she is a storyteller, an artist, and a devoted granddaughter. Her journey began with a heartfelt promise to her grandmother, who worried about her gravesite being the only one without flowers. Determined to keep that promise, Kristen launched Bloombridge, a service that delivers beautiful silk flower arrangements to gravesites, providing comfort and connection to families who cannot visit in person. Kristen’s dedication to her mission is evident in every aspect of her business, from the quality of the flowers to the personal notes that accompany each delivery.

The Significance of Storage Choice

As BloomBridge expanded, Kristen needed a storage solution that was not only secure and convenient but also managed with the same care and dedication she put into her own business. Storage Choice in Long Beach became that solution. Kristen’s decision to trust Storage Choice stemmed from her first interaction with their staff. "I’ve been with Storage Choice for three years because they were so nice and accommodating from the start," she recalls. The exceptional customer service, particularly from Charlie, the manager, made a lasting impression.

Strategic Location and Robust Security

Storage Choice’s prime location, just minutes from Kristen’s home, was a crucial factor. During the early days of BloomBridge, frequent visits to the storage facility were necessary, and the close proximity saved valuable time. Additionally, the facility’s history of withstanding Hurricane Katrina gave Kristen peace of mind. "Knowing that my storage units wouldn’t flood reassured me, especially given the facility’s resilience during Katrina," she explains. Security at Storage Choice also played a significant role in Kristen’s decision. The straightforward access system, involving a simple code entry, ensured that she could access her unit quickly and without hassle. "I feel very secure with their measures. It’s simple to access my unit – just enter a code, and the gate opens," she says, appreciating the balance of security and convenience.

Immaculate Maintenance and Technological Integration

Kristen is particularly impressed by the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility. "The facility is immaculate, both inside and out," she notes, rating its cleanliness a perfect ten. This level of maintenance is vital for storing products sensitive to dirt and dust, such as the silk flowers BloomBridge delivers.The integration of technology at Storage Choice further enhances its user-friendliness. Kristen can manage her storage needs online and even rent a U-Haul directly from the facility if necessary. This technological convenience ensures that her operations remain efficient and seamless.

He goes the extra mile every time," Kristen emphasizes, highlighting the trust-based relationship that has developed.
