DECATUR, Ga., Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Moving &
Storage of Avondale at 3653 Memorial Drive is pleased to announce
the addition of 646 indoor climate-controlled self-storage
units.
Do-it-yourself customers in DeKalb
County have graciously welcomed the new facility to meet
their needs since U-Haul purchased it in 2015.
"We have another U-Haul facility four miles up Memorial Drive
that is completely occupied with regards to our self-storage
units," U-Haul Company of Central
Georgia president Jason Petty
said. "This community needed more self-storage and we're happy to
deliver."
The 13.75-acre property features 145,978 square feet of space
and is directly across the street from the Wal-Mart® Supercenter.
Located in Avondale Square, the building was constructed in 1969
and has housed many businesses as a shopping plaza.
"The best part about taking over this building is that U-Haul
will be able to fill the entire 13 acres in order to serve more and
more customers at a lower cost," general manager Raquel Bryan said. "We will give this community
much-needed services and peace of mind in knowing a well-known
industry leader is here to stay."

The recent acquisition of the Avondale facility was driven by
U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul®
supports infill developments 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.
By reusing the shopping plaza, U-Haul prevented 435 tons of
metal manufacturing and transportation from being used, avoided
8,775 tons of new concrete pours, kept 9,389 tons of construction
and demolition debris out of landfills, and stopped 5,291,312
pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the
atmosphere.
"U-Haul is a responsible business leader in the field of
sustainability," Petty said. "We are proud to take an existing
building and breathe new life into it."
U-Haul is a proud sponsor of the 75th anniversary of
Pearl Harbor Day. The Company is
honoring Pearl Harbor survivors
and World War II veterans by supporting the events in Oahu commemorating the Dec. 7, 1941 attack. Founded by a WWII Navy
veteran and his wife, U-Haul makes veterans a focus of its
charitable works and has been recognized repeatedly as one of the
top veteran-friendly employers in the U.S.
