MARIETTA, Ga., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A
state-of-the-art moving and self-storage facility is coming
together at 900 Roswell St. in Marietta thanks to U-Haul® Company's recent
acquisition of a 58,551-square-foot building.
U-Haul at Roswell Street opened its temporary showroom in
September and is offering truck and trailer sharing, towing
equipment, moving supplies and more. There are also 33 self-storage
rooms for rent. Once the property is fully repurposed, it will
offer an additional 400 climate-controlled self-storage rooms.
"Marietta is growing so U-Haul
needs to follow," U-Haul Company of Atlanta West president
John Hairston said. "We are eager to
finish renovations so we can offer our community the high-quality
self-storage and self-move services they require."
Contact U-Haul at Roswell Street at (770) 428-6220 or stop by to
visit general manager Deondrey Gardner and his 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.
In the coming year, U-Haul plans to complete a 5,000-square-foot
warehouse space for U-Box portable moving and storage containers.
Propane will also be available soon.
Hairston will maintain a staff of eight Team Members when the
facility is fully operational. U-Haul will look to hire locally to
promote job growth within the Marietta community.
"I ask almost every customer who comes in if they're looking for
work," Gardner said. "My face is often the first face people see
when they move to Marietta and I
want them to be welcomed and know they have a trusted neighborhood
business."
The recent acquisition of the Roswell Street property 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-building
materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of
unused buildings.
