In a multi-shelf appliance garage, the the opener takes the top shelf: light, upright, and easy to lift down. The unit above heavier appliances stay accessible without rearranging the stack. It is vertical thinking inside the garage itself, and electric can opener fits the top slot perfectly.
Keep the cable and unit in a labeled bin
In a cabinet or pantry, a labeled bin holding the one-touch opener and its cable keeps the set together.

Build a small charging station

Pair it with a lid-collection bowl
