About Don Temple Storage
Don Temple Storage is a family-owned storage facility in Long Beach, California. We have been in business since the 1960s, when Don Temple built his first self-storage units in the area. More than sixty years later, the same family runs both locations on East Spring Street, and the way we do business has not changed much.

Where We Started
Don Temple got into the storage business in Long Beach in the 1960s, at a time when self-storage was not yet the established industry it is today. He saw that people needed a secure, accessible place to store their belongings and large vehicles, and he built something to meet that need.
The original concept was simple: clean facilities, fair pricing, respect for customers, and keep things straightforward. That philosophy remains today.
Don Temple Storage now includes two East Spring Street locations, 1,400 storage spaces, 40 unit sizes, outdoor RV storage, boat storage, and a public RV dump station. The family name is still on the sign, and the same family still runs the business.

Expansion
Second Spring Street location
A second location opens on East Spring Street, giving Long Beach customers more availability and options. Both facilities remain under the same family ownership.

A Family Business, Not a Chain
Years in the Long Beach community
There are a lot of storage facilities in Long Beach. Most of them are branches of national chains: corporate ownership, call centers, and staff who rotate between properties. It is not necessarily bad, but it is not personal either.
Don Temple Storage is different in that way. When customers call, they reach people who actually work there. When you have a question or a problem, you talk to a person who has been here long enough to know the answers. The staff at both Spring Street locations know their customers, because this business belongs to the family they work for.
That is not something you can manufacture. It comes from six decades of showing up and doing the work.

Sixty-Plus Years in Long Beach
Long Beach has changed a lot since Don Temple built his first storage units in the 1960s. The city has grown, the storage industry has consolidated around large national chains, and the cost of doing business has climbed. But Don Temple Storage has stayed local, stayed family-owned, and kept serving the same community for more than six decades.
We serve Long Beach families between moves, RV owners who need secure parking without street permit headaches, boat owners looking for a lower-cost alternative to marina dry storage, and small businesses that need flexible month-to-month storage without long contracts.
