Need temporary warehouse space for 6 months?
Flexible short-term storage solutions from Gateway Distribution in Kansas, KS.
Your business is growing faster than expected and you need warehouse space for several months while searching for permanent facilities. Most warehouses in Kansas require long-term leases you can't commit to right now.
Growing businesses often hit this wall. Traditional warehouse leases lock you into 12-month or longer contracts when you only need space for a few months. Most landlords won't budge on lease terms because they want predictable income.
Short-term warehouse space typically costs 15-30% more per square foot than long-term rates. Expect to pay month-to-month premiums, but you gain the flexibility to move when your permanent space opens up. Size and location along I-70 or I-35 corridors affect pricing.
Look for facilities offering month-to-month contracts with cross-docking capabilities. Gateway Distribution provides flexible warehouse space that keeps your shipments moving while you search for permanent facilities. Ask about trailer staging areas if you need overflow capacity during peak periods.
Once you secure flexible space, your inventory stays organized and accessible. You can continue shipping to customers without delays while you negotiate better terms on permanent warehouse space.

warehouse storage vs own facility
Outside warehouse storage makes sense when your facility costs more per square foot than rental space, or when you need overflow capacity during peak seasons. Look for facilities that offer inventory management and can ship directly to customers. Calculate the total cost including transportation between locations.
