Frequently asked questions
To put it simply, Big Yellow Self Storage owns Armadillo Self Storage and because they are part of the same company they share the same website, customer service standards and staff training.
To give you some history. Big Yellow Group initially operated Armadillo as a joint venture partnership from 2014. However, in 2021 Big Yellow acquired the remaining 80% stake they didn't already own making Armadillo Self Storage a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The only difference is really the locations. The Armadillo brand is used for regional stores in the Midlands and the North of England, whereas Big Yellow is predominantly in London and the South East.
Yes. Armadillo Self Storage is part of the Big Yellow Group, and as such, it operates under the same rigorous security and customer service standards as Big Yellow.
While Armadillo facilities are often smaller, local stores, they share the group's core security infrastructure, including:
24-Hour Monitoring: Comprehensive CCTV coverage and fire detection systems are standard.
On-Site Management: Both brands have trained staff on-site during trading hours to assist customers.
The main difference is often just the branding and location. Armadillo stores are typically located in regional towns, whereas Big Yellow stores are usually larger, purpose-built landmarks in major cities. You can expect the same "Check-in Online" convenience and flexible contract terms at both.
As a general rule yes. But this is due to their location rather than a difference in the service they offer.
Armadillo stores are typically located in regional towns or secondary locations where property costs and business rates are lower. Big Yellow stores are usually massive, purpose-built landmarks in major city centres (like London or Manchester). Because the overheads for Armadillo sites are lower, those savings are passed on to the customer in the form of lower weekly rents.
