Our Quest

We're building storage that works quietly behind the scenes of your life in Vancouver.

The problem.

Meet Jessi. She loved her cozy condo until, one item at a time, the stuff started to arrive. Closets overflowed with seasonal clothes. Corners disappeared with sport and hobby gear. Chaos reigned.

Before she knew it, the stuff had grown, and even gave itself a name: Stuff Monster.

The search.

She started searching for storage, but all the units were expensive, overkill, and inconvenient for what she wanted to store. Then, when all hope seemed lost, Jessi stumbled upon a little Google ad: “Cache Depot: Get professional storage made for your items.”

F*ck it, she said, and clicked.

The solution.

She packed up, dropped off, and just like that, everything changed. The Stuff Monster was dismantled and banished to secure, climate-controlled exile. Boxes went on industrial shelves, bikes on bike racks, and so on.

Jessi’s condo is immaculate again, and her stuff is always just a click away.

Why We're here.

A big pain in the a**.

We hadn't felt how much of a pain storage can be until we bought a new sofa. We needed a place to put our old one while we were selling it but our only option was to rent a big expensive storage unit or squeeze it into a smaller, cheaper one by putting the sofa on its side. Not good for the sofa and not good for the wallet.

We just wanted a place to drop it off, have it stored properly, and grab it back when it sold. That shouldn't be too much to ask for, right?

If you need to get somewhere, you can bus, drive your car, or take an Uber. Planning a trip? You can book a hotel or stay in an Airbnb. Hungry? You can cook or get it DoorDashed. Our modern world has its problems, but a lack of choice for services and products isn't usually one of them. Self storage is the exception.

An alternative pill.

Sure, storage units fill a need, but they really shouldn't be the only option available to consumers.

With backgrounds in warehousing and tech, we set out to build the storage alternative we needed: a secure place where you can drop off your items, have them professionally stored, enjoy free drive-up access, avoid managing and digging through your stuff, and pay only for what you have in storage. We decided to call this storage haven Cache Depot.

A sustainable way forward.

By refitting under-utilized buildings, we avoid sprawling storage facilities that take up city land better used for housing or parks. And when storage is actually affordable, people keep and reuse what they already own. Furniture, gear, and seasonal items don’t get replaced just because storing them costs too much. Storage shouldn’t push perfectly good stuff toward the landfill.

We’re all about storage that works quietly in the background of your life and for the community. No matter what you’ve got to store, big, small, or awkwardly shaped, we’re ready to solve all your storage problems.

Meet the storage nerds.

We’re a small, local team building storage we actually wanted for ourselves, and we’re here to give your stuff a safe home away from home.
