LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisville
residents have called on the U-Haul store at 4612 Preston Hwy. for
essential do-it-yourself moving products and services since
1977.
Until recently, U-Haul at Preston Hwy. lacked the space to offer
a self-storage product. But thanks to the recent acquisition of a
1.72-acre abutting property southeast of the store, U-Haul is now
adding storage options.
Preliminary construction plans for the property call for the
creation of a multi-story, state-of-the-art self-storage building.
The first floor will feature a covered load/unload area, allowing
customers to protect their goods from the weather when accessing
their indoor rooms. Plans also call for outdoor drive-up storage
units.
"There is a huge need for self-storage in Louisville, so we need to expand to meet that
demand," said Christopher Minnich,
U-Haul Company of Louisville
president. "We look forward to offering a range of options,
including indoor climate-controlled units with high-tech security
features."
Contact U-Haul at Preston Hwy. at (502) 367-2214 or stop by to
visit general manager Gayla Schade
and her team. Hours of operation are 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.
Approximately 800 self-storage units at affordable price points
will be available when the facility is completed in 2021.
"The abutting property will be transformed into something U-Haul
and the City of Louisville can be
proud of," Minnich added.
Once the new facility is ready, Minnich expects to hire
additional Team Members. U-Haul will look to hire locally to
promote job growth within Louisville. Find U-Haul career opportunities
at jobs.uhaul.com. U-Haul also encourages local
contractors to bid on construction work.
During construction, U-Haul at Preston Hwy. will continue to
offer truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies and boxes, towing
equipment, professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable storage
containers, propane and more.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul has remained open
throughout the COVID-19 outbreak while offering contactless
programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added steps for
sanitizing equipment between customer transactions. U-Haul products
are used daily by First Responders; delivery companies bringing
needed supplies to people's homes; small businesses trying to
remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent
groups – in addition to the household mover.
