Over 100 delegates from Self Storage Expo Asia 2022 converged at Lock+Store Chai Chee on 14 November 2022 to tour the facility and view the different self storage units. 

Lock+Store took the opportunity to launch our edible gardens showcase located at our drop-off porch. Tee Shih Kai, our edible gardens consultant from SG Gardens, introduced the different species of edible plants and flowers on display. The same edible greens will be planted at designated sites within our facility.
