Ashmont Self Storage Holds Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Members of the Stoughton business community and Stoughton town officials joined the Rudnick family last Thursday evening at the ribbon cutting for Ashmont Self Storage.

Town Manager Francis T. Crimmins, Jr. and Selectmen John Stagnone, John Anderson and John Anzivino joined David Rudnick, and his father, George Rudnick, in cutting the ribbon at a ceremony sponsored by the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce.

The storage center is located at 1204 Washington St. (at the rear of the building).

It has 148 units, is state-of-the-art and is safe and secure, David Rudnick said.

Ashmont offers climate controlled units and 24-hour video surveillance. The building is also equipped with an alarm and sprinkler system. Discounted rates are available for seniors, active military personnel and students.

David Rudnick said there has been a tremendous amount of growth in the storage business and there is a need for self-storage in the area.

The building, once home to the Ashmont Discount home center store and the Rainbow Flea Market, has been in the Rudnick family since 1980.

The Ashmont Self Storage name is a tip of the cap to the building’s history. The Ashmont name has been with the family since the 1940s, David Rudnick said.

The Rudnicks and turned it into three units—the storage center, an expansive retail space occupied by , and a Kiddie Academy, a childcare and educational center.

Both Ashmont Self Storage and Extreme Value Furniture are already open for business. Kiddie Academy will be opening soon, Rudnick said.

With this project, and the opening of three new businesses in town, Rudnick said it was “taking an eyesore and creating something people in the town can be proud of.”
