In the heart of west Greeley, Mountain Shadow Storage stands as more than a practical solution—it’s a locally owned investment in the city’s future. Behind the modern facility are four men who have long shaped the Greeley landscape through their leadership, business insight, and deep community ties: Terry Wiedeman, Rob Stanley, Dale Boehner, and Nick Francis.
Together, they recognized a growing need on the city’s west side. As Greeley expanded, so did the demand for quality storage—especially for climate-controlled units, RV parking, and secure outdoor options. For Terry Wiedeman, whose hands-on background includes years in construction, the project required more than vision—it required presence. “Being involved from start to finish shaped my leadership style,” he shared. “We didn’t want to just build a storage site. We wanted to build something Greeley could be proud of.” From the layout to the clean, modern aesthetic, every detail reflects that intention.
That same sense of foresight sparked Rob Stanley’s interest. Known for his entrepreneurial mindset and long-standing local ties, Rob had spent years researching recurring-income models before turning to self-storage. “I’m a plan B kind of guy,” he said with a smile. “The more I learned, the more I saw potential here. And when I happened to sit next to Nick at a Christmas dinner, the idea finally had legs.” What began as a conversation quickly grew into a partnership built on mutual respect, shared goals, and friendship. “We looked forward to going to work, meeting people, solving problems. It never felt like a job; it felt like the right fit.”
Dale Boehner brings a neighborly approach to the business—one grounded in years of local relationships and the belief that people return to where they feel valued. “Customer service is the lynchpin,” he said. “People want to be remembered.” For Dale, it's not just about good service—it's about building trust that lasts beyond a single transaction. That trust, built over decades in the Greeley business community, continues to draw in customers who want to rent from people they know. “We’ve seen folks choose us because of past experiences. They know we’ll treat them right,” he shared. In his eyes, keeping business local keeps dollars in motion here at home, benefiting families, schools, and neighbors alike.
And for Nick Francis, community impact was always the end goal. A well-known figure in Greeley’s civic and business arenas, Nick views Mountain Shadow Storage as a vehicle for reinvestment. “We support local schools, provide jobs, and keep business with local vendors,” he said. “It’s not just about storage. It’s about strengthening the economy we all live and work in.” His approach to leadership centers around building strong teams and empowering people, ensuring that the business remains as rooted in its values as it is in its location.
Each of these men brings something different to the table—construction experience, entrepreneurial vision, customer-first values, and a commitment to reinvesting locally. But it’s their shared belief in Greeley that ties it all together. From concept to completion, they’ve built more than a business. They’ve built trust.
As Greeley continues to grow, Mountain Shadow Storage is positioned to serve the needs of a changing city while staying deeply rooted in what matters most: people. And that’s something no big-box operation can replicate.
“We built this business not just to meet demand, but to pour back into Greeley.” – Nick Francis
