About us

Two Fort Worth storage properties, run by people who live here

A-1 & A-Thrifti Self Storage is an independently owned and operated storage business with two properties in south Fort Worth. No national call center, no regional manager three states away — the person who answers the phone is the person who runs the place.

What we are

Two straightforward drive-up storage properties in the 76110 ZIP: A-1 Self Storage at 2620 W. Pafford St., and A-Thrifti Self Storage at 2115 8th Ave. Between them we rent everything from a 5×6 that holds a dorm room to a 10×30 that holds a five-bedroom house.

They are separate properties with separate buildings, separate units, separate rates and separate phone numbers. We keep them clearly separated on this website for the same reason we keep them separate in practice — so you always know which one you are dealing with.

What we are not

We are not trying to look like Public Storage or CubeSmart. We do not have a lobby with a coffee machine or an app that gamifies your rental. What we have is clean, well-kept property, published rates, drive-up access and a local phone number that gets answered.

Customers who leave us reviews tend to mention the same handful of things: the manager is easy to reach, the lot is kept up, the price is fair and there were no false promises. That is roughly the whole business plan.

How we price

Every size and rate we rent is published on the units and rates page. There is no teaser rate that doubles in month two, and there is no "call for pricing." If a rate changes, the page changes.

Who we serve

TCU students clearing dorms and apartments. People moving into, out of and around Fort Worth. Medical residents and staff working near the district. Small businesses and trades who need room without a commercial lease. And a lot of ordinary households who simply ran out of space.
