Good morning, Store Nation.   Thank you for tuning in to the Hacking Self Storage. Today we're looking at Clough Road's June figures, and what a month it was. We hit our highest ever square footage moved in, the lowest churn in over three years, and the best net square footage increase we've ever recorded.
