You've got stuff, we've got space! American Self Storage was started by Dennis Peterson in 1985. At that time he was a Certified Property Manager and running a large asset management firm with assets over $50 million. His first facility was in Paso Robles, California. It was named American Self Storage because of Dennis’ Marine background and Vietnam War experience as a Purple Heart decorated combat command officer. All things “American” is important to his operation. He believes in the importance of hard work and top notch managers to help assist you in the self storage process. American Self Storage is proudly serving 13 locations within California, Arizona, and Nevada. Find out if we are in your area and come say hi!
