FARMINGTON, N.M., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is now
operating at the former Kmart® store at 3000 E. Main St., and will
soon be adding 600 indoor climate-controlled self-storage rooms to
its new Farmington facility.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Four Corners opened
Jan. 8. Customers can now take
advantage of truck and trailer sharing, an expansive retail
showroom featuring moving supplies and towing equipment, and much
more.
Adaptive reuse of the 94,137-square-foot property will soon
render a variety of self-storage rooms with high-tech security
features at affordable price points. Storage customers will have
extended hours access.
"We're investing in Farmington,
and we look forward to serving customers in the Four Corners area
for years to come," said Tom Neill,
U-Haul Company of Northern New
Mexico president. "There is currently no climate-controlled
self-storage in Farmington. So
U-Haul is eager to meet that need and be the leading provider
here."
U-Box® portable storage containers, professional hitch
installation and propane will also be available on the store's
9.9-acre lot in the near future.
Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of Four Corners at (505)
325-1659. Hours of operation are 8 a.m.-5
p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon
Saturday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact
Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
Acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Corporate
Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to
help local communities lower their carbon footprint. The 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.
"U-Haul has been repurposing old buildings for decades in order
to eliminate blight and benefit the communities we serve. We're
pleased to showcase that sustainability model in Farmington," Neill added. "Our goal is to
provide the Four Corners community with residential mobility and a
clean, secure storage facility where our neighbors will want to
keep their belongings."
Neill expects to employ at least 10 Team Members once the store
is fully operational. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote
job growth within Farmington.
Veterans receive priority in the hiring process. Find U-Haul career

COVID-19 pandemic while offering contactless business 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
