Good place to park my luggage near Colmar TVG station

The itinerary for our French vacation has us taking a TGV from Colmar to Paris after we drop off our Avis Car at the train station.
We had hoped to spend a few more hours poking around Colmar on our last day after we turned in our car at the train station and checked out (10-11am). The trouble is that the suggested R. Steves baggage storage, La Conciergerie is not near the station (about a mile, 16-18 min walk) so after dropping off the car the two bags have to dragged to La Conciergerie and back. Leaving the bags at our hotel after checkout is an even further walk as the hotel is 1 mile east of the station and a bit south of downtown.

So the question is, any suggestions on baggage storage near the train station?

I see from the Colmar tourism website that Colmar Cycling Velodocteurs stores bag for 3 euros is at the Colmar train location

Has anyone had experience with Velodocteur? Their hours are typical: 9-12:00 p.m & 14:00-18:00. 14:00 is kinda close to our planned train departure 14:15 (currently next TVG, 16:45)

Any other good options?

I haven't used or heard of Velodocteur. The price seems quite reasonable. Bounce is like AirBnB for luggage. I haven't used them, either. When I look at google maps and specify "Luggage storage nearby", quite a few options appear.

I might try Bounce as that gets good ratings at that location near the train station (apparently a cell phone store). I have been a bit leerly of Bounce and it's competitors because some locations "ghosted" their customers after they paid online, probably due to changes in which stores are affiliated with Bounce. This is the problem with applying an airbnb business model to luggage storage.
Anyone else have ideas.
