## Story

To kick off the grand opening, owners Sam Caruso, Mike Noto and Mike Pisciotta will host a St. Patrick’s-themed celebration that is true to Louisiana tradition, with Irish and Italian offerings. The grand opening festivities will take place the evening of Thursday, March 18, 2021 from 4:00 to 6:00 at UNITS of Greater New Orleans, located at 109 Production Drive in Slidell, Louisiana.

“Slidell’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade was canceled due to the pandemic, but our kickoff celebration will take its cues,” says Noto. “Join us for green beer, corned beef and cabbage, popular Italian dishes, and traditional hot dogs and burgers. We owe tremendous thanks to St. Margaret Mary Men’s Club for preparing the food and for supporting our local business.”

As deeply involved members of their community, Caruso, Pisciotta and Noto are excited to offer a much-needed service to friends and neighbors. UNITS of Greater New Orleans began limited operations late last year and received a record-breaking response.

“We know people in our community need a storage and moving option they can rely on,” says Caruso, president and CEO at UNITS of Greater New Orleans. “When people call us, they’re not calling a national 1-800 number. They’re calling someone who lives and works in this community. We care about this community. We need local trust to succeed, and we will work hard to earn that trust.”

UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage offers high-quality constructed containers featuring barn-style doors and all-steel construction. The UNITS® container is clean, weather-resistant, spacious and available in 16-ft. lengths. The UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage robotic delivery system is the most technologically advanced in the industry, virtually eliminating any shift in contents when lifting containers on and off transport vehicles. The container may be placed in a UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage service center or at the customers desired location.

It's important for people to know their belongings are safe and easy to access. We provide a hyper-local service that offers customers the peace of mind they deserve, Pisciotta says.

“Whether someone calls UNITS for storage during a home renovation, for a move, or for festival and parade floats and gear, our customers can trust their items are in good hands,” he says.

All are welcome to celebrate UNITS of Greater New Orlean’s Grand Opening! We will enjoy good beer and good food outdoors, in a safe environment, and follow COVID-19 protocols recommended by local government and health officials.
