A Chacun Son Box

What A Chacun Son Box does

A Chacun Son Box is a French self-storage network founded in 2003 by Yannick Guinchard, who opened the first center in Besançon. The company operates more than 41 self-storage centers across 40 cities in France, managed by local entrepreneurs under a brand licensing model rather than a traditional franchise. Its core offering is monthly rental of secure storage units in five standardized sizes (XS 1-2 m² through XL 12+ m²), with contracts starting at a one-month minimum and cancellable on 15 days' notice.

The company complements its core storage rental with add-on services that increase revenue per customer: mobile container rental and sale ('Move your Box'), an online shop for moving supplies ('Box Boutique'), utility vehicle rental, professional moving and handling assistance, and tailored offers for professional clients including waste management and merchandise reception. The technology layer is intentionally light: an online reservation system available in select centers, supported by a corporate website and basic social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn). There is no mobile app, no public API, and no AI/ML infrastructure disclosed. Multiple wholly-owned regional subsidiaries (SAS ACSB71, SAS ACSB90, SARL ACSB 67, SAS Chandler Box2) operate specific centers under the brand.

A CHACUN SON BOX Développement, created in 2020 as the headquarters entity, coordinates the network, supports new licensees from business-plan stage through construction and first contract, and provides ongoing communication and operational coordination. The company is privately held, with no external investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A activity recorded. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Customers are a long-tail mix of individual consumers (relocations, downsizing, seasonal storage) and small/professional businesses (inventory, equipment, merchandise). The company is a member of industry bodies CISS and FEDESA.

Emerging players

• Costockage: Costockage is a French peer-to-peer storage marketplace connecting individuals with spare space to those needing storage. It represents an alternative digital-first model that overlaps A Chacun Son Box's individual storage use case but with a fundamentally different asset-light, platform-based approach.

Direct peers

• Homebox: Homebox is one of France's largest self-storage networks with national coverage, directly competing with A Chacun Son Box for individual and professional storage customers across French cities. Both brands offer multi-tier box sizes, ancillary moving services, and online booking.
• Annexx: Annexx operates a French network of self-storage centers with a similar product offering (storage units in multiple sizes, moving supplies, professional services) targeting both individuals and businesses. Directly comparable in customer base, tiered pricing, and French market focus.

Others

• Demeco: Demeco is a major French moving services group offering relocation, storage, and related logistics. It overlaps with A Chacun Son Box's complementary moving/manutention and container services and competes for the same end-of-move customer moment, though its core offering is moving rather than long-term storage.
• Trusk: Trusk is a French on-demand moving and heavy goods transport platform serving B2B and B2C customers. It addresses the same relocation/transport customer need that A Chacun Son Box addresses via its utility vehicle rental and manutention services, making it an adjacent rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Shurgard Self-Storage: Shurgard is a publicly listed European self-storage leader operating hundreds of facilities across multiple countries including France. It competes for the same French self-storage demand with greater scale, capital access, and digital infrastructure, including owning the 'Une Pièce en Plus' French brand.
