GREAT FALLS, Mont.,
Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul® will soon be showcasing a modern self-storage
facility in Great Falls with the
recent acquisition of the former Agri-Village Shopping Center at
4800 10th Ave.
U-Haul acquired the 102,739-square-foot building on July 27. U-Haul Moving & Storage of
Great Falls is currently serving
customers out of a temporary showroom and offering truck and
trailer sharing and a full line of moving supplies.
Adaptive reuse of the property will render climate-controlled
indoor self-storage units with high-tech security features at
affordable price points. There will also be towing equipment and
professional hitch installation, U-Box portable moving and storage
containers, and more on the 12.3-acre lot.
Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of Great Falls at (406) 727-0087 or stop by to
see our progress. Hours of operation are 9
a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com
or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"Our city officials and neighbors have been very supportive,"
stated Terry Schaub, U-Haul Company
of Montana president. "The
Agri-Village Shopping Center is well known. Our team is eager to
provide the quality self-storage this community needs and to serve
Great Falls, including our
distinguished military members at Malmstrom Air Force Base."
The recent acquisition of the 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.
"Large properties like this have huge potential, but have a
tendency to remain dark and become eyesores," Schaub said. "We are
excited to preserve and improve this building, and be a strong
member of this community for years to come."
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in
Great Falls. Schaub expects to
maintain a staff of eight or more Team Members when the facility is
fully operational. U-Haul always encourages local contractors to
bid on renovation work.
