LAKE FOREST, Calif.,
Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul
of Lake Forest at 23211 Olive Ave.
closed its retail showroom and ceased most on-site services on
Feb. 22.
The location served self-movers in and around the Lake Forest community for 24 years.
The Olive Avenue store had operated on two parcels of land: a
16,500-square-foot tract with the retail building, which U-Haul®
plans to maintain for future use; and a 7,000-square-foot tract the
Company had been leasing, but will no longer do so.

just 0.3 miles away at U-Haul Moving & Storage of
Lake Forest at 25290 Jeronimo
Road, former site of Laguna Hills Nursery. The new store offers
truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies and boxes, towing
equipment and professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable
storage containers and more.

Forest also has 1,133 self-storage units for rent with
climate-control options and high-tech security features at
affordable price points. Propane will soon be available on the
3.08-acre lot.

Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for
growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers,
but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores.
Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans;
physical plant limitations; shifts in demographics; trends in
migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; and
proximity to other new or existing U-Haul stores.
As a result of the closing showroom and services at 23211 Olive
Ave., 14 Team Members were let go.
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.
