Scattered across the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus are signs promising $5 monthly storage with no fees or commitments – something nomadic college students can appreciate.

Kevin Cherrick, 37, holds two plastic bins — 27 inches long, 17 inches wide and 12 inches tall — that Infinite Closet customers can store their belongings in for just $5 a month with no extra fees or commitments. Cherrick said he started the business last October, and his main clientele are college students and apartment dwellers who need extra space but don’t want to pay for a large storage unit.

“I have used lots of storage as a consumer over the years, and it’s never been a really good experience,” the 37-year-old said. “It’s just trying to make storage as easy as possible for people.”
