We’re Texans, not big business
Alamo Mini-Storage has operated in Texas for more than 40 years and has been lovingly cared for by three generations of family members.
It all started in the 70s when Vernon Helmke, an architect, and two friends—Bubba, a general contractor, and Gerry, a priest—were talking about an uncommon business cropping up in the valley: self storage.
Soon, the three friends entered into a partnership called U-Stow and Go in San Antonio. As some of the early pioneers of self storage, with each of their talents, the architect, general contractor and priest designed, built, and operated their storage business.
As an architect, Vernon constantly had plans and designs for improvement running through his brain. In 1978, he decided to act on the ideas and he opened the first Alamo Mini-Storage on Bandera Road in San Antonio in 1978.
Vernon’s daughter, Karen, was the first manager for Alamo Mini-Storage, and once things began to pick up they eventually opened a second location on Eisenhauer Road in San Antonio. A third location followed in Victoria, Texas a few years later. With multiple locations, Vernon needed to add staff, so Karen and her husband Steve were hired to manage the growing business.
With their excellent customer service and management skills, Alamo Mini-Storage opened more locations to serve their fellow Texans. Today, there are seven locations: four in San Antonio, two in Victoria, and one in Hutto, Texas.
