ABOUT
NCCS
A veteran-owned family business. A building with over 80 years of history serving drivers in Berlin. A practical first step toward something bigger.
SERVING DRIVERS SINCE THE 1940s
Long before North Country Cold Storage, 1327 Main St was home to The Motor Mart Inc. — a full-service automotive institution in Berlin. Washing, polishing, lubrication, Sunoco gas, General Tire. First owned by Peter Gosselin and later Richard Gunn, The Motor Mart served generations of Berlin drivers and was a staple of the local business scene for decades.
First owned by Peter Gosselin, later Richard Gunn. A staple of Berlin's Main Street for generations.
The building has never stopped serving vehicles. After The Motor Mart, it operated as an industrial supply location before our family took it on. The brick walls, the overhead doors, the concrete floor — they've been doing this work for over 80 years. We're just the next chapter.
"This building has been serving Berlin's drivers since the 1940s. We're honored to carry that forward — and to build on it."
A MEANS TO AN END
North Country Cold Storage is a veteran-owned family business — and it's honest about what it is. Storage isn't the long-term vision. It's the practical first chapter.
The revenue from NCCS funds the ongoing stabilization and rebuild of this historic building — with a longer-term vision of transforming 1327 Main St into something that serves Berlin in a health and wellness capacity. The ATVs, boats, and trailers stored here today are helping make that possible.
We run lean, we take the work seriously, and we don't make promises we can't keep. Berlin is our community and we're invested in its future — one season at a time.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
When I look at that old photo of The Motor Mart — the Sunoco pumps, the General Tire sign, the lubritorium bays — I see what this building has always been: a place where people in Berlin brought the things they depend on and trusted someone to take care of them.
That's still what we're doing. The machines are different and the prices have gone up a little, but the commitment is the same. Storage is what this building has always done. We're using that to fund what it's going to become.
If you're storing with us this season — thank you. You're helping write the next chapter of this building's story.
