Fort Storage
2560 N. Michigan St., Plymouth 574-952-FORT
Fort Storage, with 65 units, was built by Gary Scott in 1987 and was originally called the Mini Storage Co. Joe Mersch purchased the business on April 18. Joe has been a resident of Plymouth for the past nine years. Joe is a Quality Manager at Indiana Heat Transfer Corporation in Plymouth. The name of “Fort Storage” was decided on due to the shape of the storage building. This facility is different than most in that all the doors face the inside and the outside walls make a barrier with only one entrance into the area. This layout is reminiscent of the old days when forts were secure and safe havens.
