PHOENIX, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul is making
moving easier in northwestern Phoenix thanks to the acquisition and adaptive
reuse of a former Home DepotĀ® location at 4240 W. Camelback
Road.
The property, acquired last December, will be known as U-Haul
Moving & Storage at West Camelback Road. It just began offering
truck and trailer rentals, moving supplies and hitch accessories
out of a temporary showroom.
The 8.25-acre lot is within three miles of Grand Canyon University, allowing the store to
cater to the moving and storage demands of college students as well
as neighboring communities.
"We will be making improvements on this building for several
years so it meets the expectations of our customers," U-Haul
Company of Western Arizona
president Jason Turcotte said. "We
are planning to repair all of the existing building, upgrade the
landscaping, add needed lighting, and reimage and paint the
exterior."
Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage at West Camelback Road at
(602) 714-7386 or stop by to view our line of products and
services. Hours of operation are from 7
a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve equipment at
uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"We are excited to be able to serve this community with a
full-line of U-Haul services," Turcotte continued. "We will be
adding indoor climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled
self-storage, and will ultimately be contributing to the
rejuvenation of this area."
Additional details of the self-storage units and other
renovations will become available as phases of the project are
completed.
The acquisition of the West Camelback Road facility was driven
by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives:
U-Haul supports infill development to help local communities lower
their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings
reduces the amount of energy and resources required for
new-construction materials and helps cities reduce
their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
U-Haul is currently looking to hire locally for this store to
promote job growth within the Valley. Turcotte expects to employ at
least 10 full- and part-time U-Haul Team Members at the West
Camelback Road store once it is fully staffed.
