TOLEDO,
Ohio, Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul
Moving & Storage at Byrne Road will close its retail showroom
and cease most on-site services on Monday.
The store at 2366 Byrne Road served the do-it-yourself moving
public in and around Toledo for 28
years. Three Team Members will be let go due to the Oct. 3 changes.
The location will continue to serve as a U-Haul self-storage
facility. The 475 self-storage units will be operated remotely by
U-Haul Moving & Storage of South End at 1415 S. Detroit. The
store is only two miles from the closing Byrne Road retail
showroom.
Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for
growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers,
but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores, shops
and offices. Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic
plans; safety and security concerns; physical site conditions and
limitations; shifts in demographics; availability of local Team
Members; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood
dealer network; proximity to other new or existing Company
locations; and external factors.
U-Haul dealers in and around Toledo continue to meet the needs of DIY
movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to offer
rental equipment since 1945. During these challenging times for
small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and
Canada are generating supplemental
income through their U-Haul partnership. When customers rent from
U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in
their community. Because no financial investment is required,
dealers are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses
committing their lot space for U-Haul equipment and time to meet
the mobility needs of customers. Learn more about how to partner
