LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Feb. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
revealing plans for a new retail, moving and self-storage center in
Lawrenceville after purchasing
1.76 acres at 243 Buford Drive.
U-Haul Storage at Buford Drive is scheduled for completion by
the end of 2025. This will be the first U-Haul-owned and -operated
facility in Lawrenceville.
A multi-story self-storage building will provide more than 700
indoor rooms with climate-control options. Units will have high-end
security features at affordable prices. Storage customers will be
able to apply for after-hours access.
"Local small businesses serving as U-Haul dealers have been
serving Lawrenceville customers
for decades, and now we'll have a flagship store in the community,"
said Rod Tape, U-Haul Company of
Georgia Northeast president.
"Affordable and accessible self-storage from a trusted company is
needed in every growing market today. This location will be
convenient for our customers."

U-Haul intends to hire 10 Team Members to staff the new store
when it is ready. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job
growth within the Lawrenceville
community. U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets leading
veteran-friendly employer by The Military Times, actively recruits
veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process. Find

"When a U-Haul facility comes to a new town, we become part of
that community," Tape added. "We're bringing jobs to Lawrenceville and look forward to growing the
workforce here. Investing in local communities is part of the
reason we've been in business for nearly 80 years."
U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its
shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables
communities to share moving equipment so that families and
individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer
belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse
(the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new
stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic
Ready-To-Go Boxes® that are shared hundreds of
times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul
promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest
sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold
winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the
Year.
