What Annexx does
Annexx is a French self-storage company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Toulouse, operating under the legal entity Annexx S.A.S. The company runs 28 company-owned storage centers across major French metropolitan areas — including Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Nantes, Montpellier, Pau, Perpignan, and Cannes — supplemented by a network of 600 partner locations that extends coverage to all of metropolitan France, Corsica, and DOM-TOM. The combined network is cited as covering 450 centers and approximately 1.27 million square meters of storage space. Annexx serves two primary customer segments: individual consumers (Particuliers) seeking storage for moves, renovations, student transitions, and life changes, and professional customers (PME/TPE, artisans, large groups) requiring multi-site storage, archiving, and business workspace solutions.
The core product is rental of secure self-storage boxes ranging from 1 to 50 m² for individuals and up to 100 m² for professionals, with 24/7 access, individual alarms, video surveillance, and no-commitment contracts (15-day notice). The technology stack is conventional: a self-serve web booking platform with a 4-step reservation process (simulator, online reserve, remote contract finalization, move in), a mobile application for iOS and Android, and virtual tour technology. Under the Annexx Business Service sub-brand, the company offers bundled B2B services including company domiciliation, meeting rooms, coworking spaces, parking, and parcel reception. Supporting revenue comes from moving supplies sold through the Boutique du Déménagement e-commerce channel with Click & Collect, and lock/accessory sales.
The business model is primarily subscription/recurring revenue from monthly box rentals, complemented by business services (domiciliation, coworking), e-commerce merchandise, and the 600-location partner network. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website and phone, with multi-channel digital marketing spanning SEO, content marketing, and social media. Pricing varies by location and box size, with web-exclusive rates offering a 20% discount and a best price guarantee. The company received recognition as the Best Self-Storage Website in Europe 2024 and a 2024 Sustainable Development Award.

Annexx competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Regus / IWG: Global flexible-workspace operator providing coworking, meeting rooms, and office rentals. Comparable to Annexx Business Service's coworking and meeting room offerings, though operates at vastly larger scale and globally rather than within storage centers.
- Shurgard Self-Storage: Publicly listed pan-European self-storage REIT operating hundreds of facilities across France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Comparable as the most direct head-to-head competitor in France with deeper capital, public-market access, and standardized large-format facilities.
- Big Yellow Group: UK-listed self-storage REIT operating ~110 facilities, predominantly in London and Southeast England. Comparable as a mature, publicly listed self-storage operator providing a benchmark on unit economics and valuation, though not directly competitive in France.
Direct peers
- Locabox: French self-storage operator with multiple urban centers offering similar box sizes, 24/7 access, and no-commitment contracts. Competes with Annexx in several French metropolitan areas with comparable digital booking experience.
- Box Avenue: French self-storage brand with multiple centers across major French cities, offering similar 1-50m² boxes with 24/7 access and online booking. Directly competes with Annexx in overlapping metros including Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux.
- Homebox: French self-storage operator offering 24/7-accessible boxes ranging from 1m² to 50m² for individuals and professionals — virtually identical product offering, customer segments, and pricing model to Annexx, making it the closest direct competitor in metropolitan France.
- Une Pièce en Plus: Historic French self-storage brand (founded 1998) operating dozens of centers across France, serving both individuals and professionals with similar subscription-based pricing and access features — a long-standing direct competitor to Annexx.
- Easy Storage (Stockage Easy): French self-storage operator providing boxes to individuals and professionals across multiple cities with online booking and flexible contracts — comparable business model and target customer segments to Annexx.
Emerging players
- Costockage: French peer-to-peer storage marketplace connecting individuals with spare space to consumers needing storage — an adjacent, lower-cost model that competes on price with traditional self-storage operators like Annexx, particularly for non-urban and longer-term storage.
- Allright Storage: Newer French self-storage brand (formerly Mondial Box) rapidly expanding centers in France with similar digital-first customer experience and no-commitment contracts — competes with Annexx in the same metros but with a less established footprint.
