If you want to succeed in something, your vision is everything. It is the root to one’s success, and it takes a great deal of passion to make it grow.
Bob Pfeiffer and wife, Trisha, had the necessary ingredients to make their vision bloom. As the owner of Pfeiffer Construction Inc., Bob wanted to create a storage facility in the heart of Bartow that would stand out and look different th
an any other storage building. “I built the facility so that the units would stay cooler in the hot Florida heat, and the look was designed so that when you drove by you wouldn’t even realize you were looking at a storage facility.”
Simply Storage has been in business since 2005 and has helped over 800 people with their storage needs. The facility is equipped with a gated entry and a security system. You do not need to fret over committing to any contracts when you store your things at Simply Storage, because all leases are month-to-month; meaning you can vacate at any point without a penalty.
Pfeiffer’s passion for not only his storage facility, but for Bartow was apparent when he spoke. “I wanted to construct not only a building, but something that helped Bartow shine.”
They have, in fact, successfully helped Bartow shine, not only with their storage facility, but with their involvement in the community as well. Bob is the assistant coach for track at Bartow High School, and through Simply Storage the Pfeiffers’ are able to sponsor soccer leagues throughout Bartow. Simply Storage has also donated storage units to various non-profit organizations many times through the years so they would have a place to store their things.
Bob is not the 
only one with an eye for innovation and construction, as Trisha also has a flair for design. She is the proud owner of LillyCat Design Studio, where she prepares multi-media digital work and consults companies on branding imagery and setup.
Bartow Ford has a great history with Bob and Trisha, even before Simply Storage was born. The Pfeiffer’s have bought eight vehicles over the past ten years, and say they have had a “fantastic relationship with Bartow Ford.”

I’ve been buying vehicles from them for 19 years now. Our industry is so demanding that I just don’t have the time to sit down and try to do negotiations with sales people, or take my vehicle to the dealership for service. Bartow Ford has really catered to my needs, from Mike Bedenbaugh giving me the bottom line on a vehicle, down to the service aspect. They accommodate my needs and will send someone to come get my vehicle and bring it back to me, just because I don’t have the time. You really appreciate going to a business that shares the same ethics as you.”
