“What Has Changed for Mary Padian Since Storage Wars”

Mary Padian spent several years as a cast member of “Storage Wars,” entertaining fans with her hilarious, high-energy personality and penchant for spotting good storage units and making what was old new again.

But what has she been doing since departing the show? Unfortunately, Padian last graced the “Storage Wars” universe with her presence in 2018 after appearing on “Storage Wars: Texas” and “Storage Wars” for a combined seven years. While appearing on the shows, Padian built up a dedicated fan base who fell in love with her free spirit and eye for locating valuable finds.

Of course, Padian seemed to love her job just as much, even if it wasn’t the path she originally planned on taking.

In 2011, Padian, who at the time was still appearing on “Storage Wars: Texas,” revealed that, unlike most people, being well-known was not actually her original goal.

“No, it wasn’t,” Padian shared with D Magazine about whether her goal was to be on television. In fact, producers sought her out. “When they first approached me, I just did two episodes with Moe [Prigoff],” she continued.

“The great thing about ‘Storage Wars: Texas’ is the people who work on the show are all my age. They’re good at what they do. They love what they do. They’re all friends. It’s fun.

All the film guys are like my brothers now. They kind of found my talent of refurbing. It’s been good, because it just happened so naturally.”
