Local businesses are the heart of our communities. Patch had a chance to talk with Yossi Burstyn, Brand Partner, of Extra Space Storage.

Patch: Tell us a bit about your business or organization:
Yossi Burstyn: Extra Space Storage at 93 Ridge Road in Canton is a new, Class-A, fully climate-controlled storage facility. Our goal is to make storage simple, accessible, and stress-free for residents, businesses, and students across Canton and the surrounding Cherokee County area. The property is easy and convenient to access, designed with the customer’s experience in mind. Whether someone’s moving, downsizing, or managing inventory for their business, we want their storage process to be smooth from start to finish. We’re proud to offer a best-in-class storage experience that residents across Canton and the surrounding Cherokee County area can trust.

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town?
Yossi Burstyn: 2 years

Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?
Yossi Burstyn: I’ve always been interested in real estate and building businesses that serve everyday needs. Self-storage stood out as an industry that combines long-term stability with real value for people, it’s something everyone needs at one point or another. When I saw the opportunity to bring a modern, fully climate-controlled storage facility to Canton, it made perfect sense. We wanted to create a clean, accessible, and well-run store that customers could truly rely on, which we have successfully done since day one.

Patch: What's the most common piece of advice you give to customers?
Yossi Burstyn: I always tell customers that a little preparation before move-in goes a long way. Label boxes clearly, stack heavier items on the bottom, and leave a small walkway inside the unit, you’ll thank yourself later when you need to find something quickly. I also remind customers not to underestimate the value of climate control. It helps protect everything from household goods and business inventory to sentimental items and collectibles, keeping them in great shape year-round, no matter what the weather’s doing outside.

Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
Yossi Burstyn: The most satisfying part is seeing the facility operate exactly as it was designed to, efficient, organized, and genuinely helpful for customers. We put a lot of thought into the layout and overall accessibility, and it’s rewarding to see customers benefit from that in a real way.

Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?
Yossi Burstyn: What sets our facility apart is the level of convenience and quality built into every part of the customer experience. From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to make storage easier, faster, and more comfortable, without having to worry about weather or tight spaces. Inside, every unit is fully climate-controlled, with wide hallways, high ceilings, and plenty of room to maneuver during loading and unloading. Customers can access the building through the Extra Space Storage app, adding a layer of security and convenience that most facilities don’t offer. We also take pride in keeping the property spotless and well-maintained year-round. The combination of thoughtful design, modern technology, and consistent attention to detail is what truly sets this facility apart in the Canton and the surrounding Cherokee County area.
