History of Abbott Management

Abbott Management began in 1970 with the business name “Alvin Abbott & Son”.  The street address then was on Kearney Street-now known as McCall Road.  It was actually a gravel road! 

The business started by owning and managing school buses for USD 383.  Soon after, the storage facility was built and the Sunflower-McCall Road storage business was underway. It was the first “Self Storage” facility in Kansas!   Later in the 70’s they began with residential rental property, and in 1976 the company name changed to Abbott Management. 

In 1983, the school bus business was sold, while continuing to develop storage facilities and rentals.  Today Abbott Management manages rental property owned by Tom Abbott and also managing property for other owners.  The Management Company currently manages 107 rental units, serving KSU-Manhattan and Ft. Riley. 

The business is always changing. Willie’s Car Washes and ICE machines in Manhattan are also managed by Abbott Management.  You can be sure we’ll be doing business in Manhattan for a long time to come.
