In 1974, Schomac opened its first self-storage facilities in Tucson, Arizona. It was quickly discovered that self-storage was a unique business. Therefore, National Self Storage Development, Inc. and National Self Storage Management, Inc. were formed to further develop this business for Schomac and its investors.

Originally, self-storage was considered by many to be an industrial or warehouse related use. However, NSS quickly distinguished itself as one of the first companies to introduce the concept that self-storage is primarily a retail use. NSS began merchandising their self-storage concept as a product. Their "stores" offered customers many new and innovative features and their on-site, professionally trained "NSS Storage Consultants" educated storage customers on the many benefits that these features provided. NSS's innovative management techniques have helped shape the direction of the self-storage industry and, in fact, have now become industry standards.

Innovative concepts pioneered by NSS include high-tech security devices and construction techniques such as precast tilt up concrete walls with movable metal demising partitions, raised slabs with recessed door seals and integrated roof systems. Together with award-winning landscape treatments, the NSS properties provided curb appeal that was very inviting and conducive to consumers. NSS maintained a "hands on" approach to the actual design and architecture of their self-storage stores and the resident apartment in an effort to soften the outward appearance to the surrounding neighborhood and provide a comfortable home for their on-site managers.
