Looking for a small contractor garage, work bay, or business flex space in Lenoir, NC? Cardinal State Storage Lenoir 321 at 2116 Hickory Blvd (Hwy 321) offers 10x30 and 20x30 drive-up units that work as commercial flex space for trades, contractors, mobile businesses, and small operations — right on the Hwy 321 corridor with easy in-and-out for work trucks and trailers.

Why L321 specifically for contractor flex space

• Direct Hwy 321 access. No twisting through residential streets with a work truck or trailer. Straight shot to 321, then anywhere in Caldwell County or up the mountain.
• Wide lane access to drive-up units. Practical for pulling in a work truck, trailer, or dually without wrestling.
• Some larger units have double-door (drive-through) access. Useful for awkward loads, large equipment, or pulling a trailer in one end and out the other.
• Month-to-month, no security deposit, no long-term lease. Scale up or down as your pipeline shifts.
• Locally owned. When you call (828) 754-1981, a local team member picks up. No commercial real estate broker chase.

What contractors and small businesses use these for

• Work-truck overflow. Tools, materials, and equipment that won’t fit in the truck cab or bed — plumbing supplies, electrical fittings, HVAC parts, finish carpentry stock.
• Job-site staging. Drop materials closer to active job sites in the Lenoir / Caldwell County / Blowing Rock market. Drive-up access means quick load-outs without warehouse hassle.
• Tool and equipment storage. Pressure washers, generators, compressors, ladders, scaffolding, lifts. Locked, fenced, gated — not sitting in your truck overnight.
• Mobile-business inventory. Mobile detailers, mobile mechanics, food trucks, event-rental operators — a base of operations without a commercial lease.
• Seasonal contractor stock. Landscaping, painting, roofing, holiday-lighting installers — store off-season inventory and equipment in a 10x30 instead of paying year-round commercial rent.
• E-commerce and Amazon FBA prep. Inventory storage, returns processing, packing stations for online sellers operating out of Lenoir.
• Small-business records and archive storage. Closed-file storage, off-site backup of paper records.

Sizes and what they fit

• 10x30 = 300 sq ft: Roughly a single-car garage bay. Contractor tool storage, mobile-business inventory, seasonal stock.
• 20x30 = 600 sq ft: Roughly a 2-car garage bay. Real working square footage for a small operation, room for equipment plus workbench.

What’s NOT included (so you can plan)

• Electrical outlets inside units — some specific units may have electrical access; ask if you need it for charging tools or running a compressor
• Climate control — this is uncovered drive-up storage; for climate-sensitive items long-term, see our sister facility Five Star Self Storage a few minutes away
• Office space — these are storage / flex bays, not zoned for customer-facing retail or office operations
• Truck washing or mechanical work — personal-use storage of equipment is fine; running a service operation out of the unit is not
