Kladovkin

What Kladovkin does

Kladovkin is a Russian private self-storage operator, legally registered as OOO «Кладовкин» and founded in 2021. The company rents individual storage units ("kladovki" or boxes) ranging from XS (up to 1 m³) to L (10+ m²) across 117+ locations in Moscow, Moscow Oblast, St. Petersburg, Tyumen, and Kaluga. Its core technology is a proprietary mobile application that enables fully keyless, unmanned 24/7 access via Bluetooth or PIN code, with climate control (temperature above 17°C, humidity 50–60%), 24/7 CCTV, fire and security alarm systems, and automated entry logging. The company produces its storage complexes at a dedicated manufacturing facility in Tula, ensuring standardized build quality, and operates a franchise program that allows partners to supply real estate while Kladovkin provides the technology, operations, brand, and customer acquisition infrastructure.

Kladovkin serves two primary customer segments: individual consumers needing extra space for seasonal items, renovation furniture, bicycles, sports gear, documents, and relocation; and small-to-mid-sized businesses requiring storage for archives, office furniture, merchandise, and exhibition equipment. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly subscriptions on each occupied unit, with starting prices from approximately 559 ₽/month for the smallest boxes, multi-month prepay discounts (6 months: −5%, 12 months: −7%), a 50% first-month promotional discount for new customers, and a refundable deposit equal to 50% of one month's rate. The entire rental workflow — discovery, booking, contract signing, payment, access, and renewal — is conducted online via website or iOS/Android app without physical interaction.

The go-to-market motion is product-led and self-serve: customers browse locations on the website, select a unit, sign the contract online, and access the box via the app, with no sales staff involvement. Kladovkin supplements this with content marketing (a blog covering storage use-cases), organic search optimization, Yandex Maps customer reviews, and promotional codes for new customer acquisition. Logistics partnerships with Yandex Go and Yandex Drive extend the offering into cargo transport and carsharing, enabling end-to-end moving support. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, is headquartered in Moscow at Derbenyovskaya Embankment, and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Extra Space Storage: Major US self-storage operator with a sizeable third-party management and franchise program. Directly comparable on the property-tech-enabled operating model and the franchising of facility operations, a model Kladovkin explicitly replicates in Russia.
• Safestore Holdings: UK and Paris-based self-storage operator with a city-centric site strategy and direct digital booking. Closely matches Kladovkin's urban-residential customer base and self-serve online rental motion.
• Public Storage: The largest publicly traded self-storage REIT in the US with thousands of facilities. Highly comparable business model (climate-controlled self-storage units rented monthly) and serves as the global benchmark for unit-economics, occupancy, and franchise-vs-corporate mix decisions relevant to Kladovkin.
• National Storage Affiliates Trust: US self-storage REIT structured around participating regional operators, structurally analogous to a franchised self-storage platform. Relevant comparable for the franchise-of-franchise model Kladovkin is building.
• StorageMart: Privately held, family-owned self-storage operator with a strong franchise program across the US and Canada. Closest peer in franchise-driven network expansion, mirroring Kladovkin's franchisor economics.
• CubeSmart: US self-storage REIT focused on urban and suburban infill locations similar in density profile to Moscow's residential districts. Comparable on tenant mix (residential + business), unit-size laddering, and digital-first customer experience.
• Big Yellow Group: UK's largest branded self-storage operator with ~110 facilities, the closest geographic-analog dense-network self-storage franchise in a developed market. Comparable unit mix, climate control, and urban-proximity site selection as Kladovkin.
• Shurgard Self Storage: European self-storage operator with ~270 facilities across the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, UK, and Portugal. Highly comparable tech-enabled, app-driven customer journey and dense-network urban strategy.
• Lok'nStore Group: UK self-storage operator focused on the South East with strong digital booking and customer service. Comparable on smaller-fleet, higher-density urban locations and direct-to-consumer digital motion.

Direct peers

• CityBox: Russian automated self-storage operator in Moscow with a comparable app-based, keyless access model. Most direct domestic competitor to Kladovkin on city, segment, and product.
