Stasher.com has acquired StoreMe, bringing together 5500 luggage
storage hosts across the world.
Founded in 2017, StoreMe is the brainchild of Peter Korbel, a
serial entrepreneur. StoreMe has 300+ locations throughout major US
cities and thousands of customers looking for short-term
storage.
It joins Stasher’s 5500 storage points across over 1000 cities
around the globe.
In a statement, Korbel said: “I am delighted to transition
StoreMe’s business over to Stasher, a leader in the market.”
He added: “The timing was right to sell StoreMe and focus my
efforts on my consulting business, 135 Madison, and other business
opportunities. I have a lot of faith that the founders will
continue to scale and grow the operation to new heights.”
Stasher, which was founded by Jacob Wedderburn-Day and Anthony
Collias, was the world’s first luggage storage network. Both
founders were recognized in Forbes 30 under 30 and founded Stasher
in London in 2015. In 2020, the company raised a $2.5m funding
round, valuing the company at $12.5m. Stasher’s growth has been
exponential coming out of COVID, and the company aims to be the
biggest luggage storage network in the world, helping travelers
everywhere make the most out of their trips.
Stasher offers short-term luggage storage in shops and hotels
from $5.90 per day. It boasts several major hotel partnerships,
including Premier Inn in the UK.
Wedderburn-Day said the deal would allow Stasher to grow its
footprint in the US. “The American market is massive and has a lot
of untapped potential. This deal lets Stasher build on Peter’s
excellent work and add some fantastic US locations to our network,
particularly on the East Coast.”
Stasher has recently snapped up other global players, including
Airkeep.me (LatAm) and MindMyBag.com (ANZ).
