Why Gunnison-based teams stock up before the drive
Many cleaners and property managers live in Gunnison and commute up Highway 135. The drive is the time you cannot get back, so the van should leave town fully loaded. Running back for one missing linen set can cost an hour on a tight checkout day.
Keeping turnover stock at a Gunnison gate means laundry, restock and loading happen in one place before the first checkout. Your Crested Butte owners get a ready rental, and your team avoids storing bins in their own homes.
