Donald McNally doesn’t usually man a booth at the South Shore Chamber of Commerce’s annual Expo. In the past, the owner of Granite City Self Storage Inc. in Quincy just never saw the need.
But this year, with a 30,000-square-foot expansion of his 95 Old Colony Ave. location set to open in a matter of months, McNally spent Tuesday reaching out to a broader audience.
“We’re expanding the business, so we’re looking for a little more exposure throughout the South Shore,” McNally said, standing next to a table filled with free trinkets. “That’s why we decided on the booth.”
Each year, as many as 2,000 people stop by the chamber’s annual business-to-business expo. This year’s event, held Tuesday at The Lantana in Randolph, drew 82 exhibitors, slightly fewer than last year’s record turnout of 97.
