Leasing with the option to purchase was established by Cook buildings as an alternative to mini-warehousing. Our no strings attached plan allows anyone to have a storage facility in their own backyard or business, when and where they need it. The low monthly rental rates are comparable to mini-warehousing rates per square foot, but with the Cook Rent-to-Own plan, a portion of each payment is applied toward the purchase price, if the customer decides to buy.
