PUEBLO,
Colo., March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
U-Haul® announced its purchase of two former Freedom
Self Storage properties in Pueblo
County. They are at 469 E. Spaulding Ave. in Pueblo West and 827 Village Circle in
Pueblo.
The properties, now U-Haul Moving & Storage of Pueblo West and U-Haul Moving & Storage of
University Park, respectively, were acquired on Feb. 14. The acquisitions will enable U-Haul, the
industry leader in DIY moving and self-storage, to better meet the
needs of its growing customer base in Colorado.
U-Haul of Pueblo West offers
269 self-storage units and 53 RV, boat and vehicle storage spaces
for rent. U-Haul of University Park offers 215 self-storage units
and 28 vehicle storage spaces. The locations also provide customers
with access to moving trucks and trailers, boxes, moving supplies
and more. Storage customers can attain extended-hours access.
Plans call for the addition of U-Box® warehouses at
both properties. The buildings will be used for the storage of
hundreds of portable moving containers. U-Haul of
Pueblo West will also offer truck
and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment
and more. Climate-controlled self-storage options will also be
added to the facility.

"U-Haul has been looking to grow its storage footprint in
Pueblo County for years," said
Randi Crompton, U-Haul Company of
Southern Colorado president. "By
acquiring these existing self-storage facilities, we're able to
bring our services closer to residents who need them. U-Haul has
been a staple in the Pueblo
community since the 1980s and we're excited to expand our network
of convenient locations."
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.
