We put our customers first at Bloomingdale Self Storage, located in Brandon, Florida. We offer a variety of amenities and affordable storage options to meet the needs of our customers. Enjoy clean storage rentals with climate controls. These features help protect your wood furniture and any artwork you store. We got you covered. Rent storage today.
We offer sizes ranging from 5ft x 5ft lockers all the way up to 10ft x 30ft drive-up units, all in increments of 5 feet.
The size you need depends on the items you’re storing. Furniture and bulky items require more square footage, but boxes and totes can be stacked to the ceiling, reducing the overall footprint. The best way to find out is to come in with photos or a list of items and we can recommend the perfect unit. You can also tape out a unit’s dimensions on the ground to visualize how your items will fit.
Jewels, furs, heirlooms, artworks, collectibles or other irreplaceable items, food and grains, and any illegal, flammable, corrosive, organic, biological, chemical, odorous, noxious, or dangerous materials including gunpowder, oxygen cylinders, lithium batteries, electric vehicles, and alcohol above 90 proof.
Yes, all our units are climate-controlled. We do have an expansion planned that will include non-climate drive-up storage, but it isn’t currently operational.
Indoor storage is inside our facility, always air conditioned with a low-dust environment, accessed through the front office via a garage door. Outdoor storage is typically non-climate and drive-up, offering quicker access at a lower price. Be careful not to store anything sensitive to heat and humidity outdoors.

Place boxes and totes at the back, stacking them as high and tightly as possible. Furniture and bulky items are harder to stack, so keep them toward the front where there’s more floor space. Always try to go up before going sideways, storage is more about how high you can stack than how much sq ft you have.
Use totes, boxes, plastic bags, or protective covers. We also recommend visiting your unit periodically to make sure everything is in good condition.

Please note that we require documentation confirming the new person is authorized to take over the unit as the named executor.

We understand these can be difficult circumstances and will do our best to work with you accordingly.
We’re aiming for the end of spring or early summer. Final inspections are complete and we’re awaiting our Certificate of Occupancy. Due to the unpredictability of Hillsborough County’s permit board, we cannot confirm an exact opening date.
Non-climate drive-up units will range from 5ft x 10ft to 10ft x 30ft. Covered, paved parking spots will range from 12ft x 20ft to 10ft x 50ft, with electrical hook-ups on select spots. All units and parking spaces will have 24/7 access in a well-lit, secure lot.
Storage customers can park personal vehicles on the right side of the facility (as you face the office). U-Haul customers should park personal vehicles in the lots behind Burger King and Taco Bell, we own both lots, so you won’t be towed. When finished with the U-Haul, park the truck in the same spot and return the key to us. Loading and unloading can be done in front of the garage door.
