the challenge
Faced with the challenge of limited space, Richard Johnson Photography turned to XYZ Storage to house framed artwork, business records, personal items, and travel gear, renting both indoor and outdoor units.
the solution
XYZ Storage’s Laird location provided the ideal mix of convenience, security, and accessibility. At their peak usage, Richard Johnson Photography maintained two units: one indoor climate-controlled unit for framed artwork and another outdoor drive-up unit for equipment, archives, and personal belongings.
strategy adjustments
Lucie oversees all operations, including sales, gallery relations, and exhibition logistics, and continues to rely on XYZ Storage for housing archival materials. The ability to adjust unit sizes as needed, maintain climate-sensitive items safely, and access materials on demand has allowed the studio to operate seamlessly and virtually, without the need for a traditional studio space.
the results
XYZ Storage’s Toronto Midtown facility continues to play a vital role in the operations of this legacy-driven business.
