Joseph stored the grain locally, in the cities near where it was grown:
During the seven years of abundance the land produced plentifully. Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.
There is a tradition that Joseph built places to store the grain, but the biblical narrative merely says he stored it in “each city”.
