"Our neighbors have been asking for a state-of-the-art
self-storage facility," said Kellin
Sybrant, U-Haul Company of Northern Minnesota president. "This area is
the frigid north, where indoor climate-controlled rooms are needed.
We are pleased to offer these rooms before the winter."

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Superior opened in a limited capacity in
March, offering truck and trailer sharing and moving supplies out
of a temporary showroom.
Then the real work began. Six months of cleanup and renovations
to the former Kmart® building yielded an 88,914-square-foot
facility with more than 700 self-storage units at affordable price
points. Customers will enjoy U-Haul Remote 24/7® access, high-tech
security, two covered load/unload areas, and a U-Haul Re-Use center
for sharing boxes and gently used household items.
The facility also offers towing equipment, professional hitch
installation and a U-Box portable storage container warehouse.
Propane will be available on the 6.2-acre lot in the near
future.
"This building was becoming an eyesore," Hall said. "It sat
vacant for several years in the middle of this community. We are
excited to breathe life back into it."
The recent acquisition of the former Kmart 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.
"The Twin Ports have been vastly underserved," Sybrant added.
"Customers were having to drive miles up the hill to get our
services and self-storage. Now we're bringing convenience to this
community."
