History

In 1975, Kenneth Woolley built his first self-storage facility under the name Secure-It Mini Storage in Billings, Montana with Bill Nielson.

In 1977, Woolley, Nielson, and Richard S. Tanner formed Extra Space Development Co.

In 1998, after 21 years of developing and selling storage properties across the U.S., Woolley partnered with Spencer F. Kirk – who previously retired after co-founding Megahertz, which was bought out by USRobotics and later 3Com.

Through the new partnership formed between Woolley and Kirk, Extra Space Storage went on to create several joint ventures partnerships including with Prudential Real Estate.

In August 2004, the company became a public company via an initial public offering, raising $252 million.[5][6] Woolley was named CEO and Chairman of the Board.

In July 2005, in a joint venture with PGIM, Extra Space acquired Storage USA from GE Commercial Finance for $2.3 billion. The purchase added more than 400 additional properties and expanded Extra Space Storage's portfolio into 34 states. At the time of the purchase, it was the largest transaction made within the self-storage industry.[7]
