AUGUSTA,
Ga., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is
announcing plans for a state-of-the-art retail, moving and
self-storage facility at an undeveloped site at 1070 Claussen Road
in Augusta.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of River Watch is scheduled for
completion by June 2024. The
Company's preliminary plans call for the creation of a four-story
building with indoor climate-controlled self-storage, outdoor
drive-up storage buildings, and a separate U-Box® portable storage
container warehouse.
The facility will offer more than 700 ADA-accessible
self-storage rooms with high-tech security features at affordable
price points. Customers will also have access to U-Haul truck and
trailer sharing, moving supplies and boxes, towing equipment,
professional hitch installation, propane and much more. U-Haul
acquired the 10.76-acre property on June
14.

"This property has great visibility from the interstate and
River Watch Parkway, making it an attractive location for a
full-service U-Haul center," said Kevin
Anderson, U-Haul Company of South
Carolina president whose territory includes eastern
Georgia. "Home to The Masters®
golf tournament, Augusta is a
growing community. We see thousands of visitors every year, many of
whom set their sights on moving here. With all the growth we're
seeing in and around Augusta,
there is a clear need for us to expand operations and offer
residential mobility to more families."
Anderson intends to hire at least 20 Team Members to staff the
new store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth
within the Augusta community.
U-Haul, honored as a "Best for Vets 2020" leading veteran-friendly
employer by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and
gives them preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers

"We're eager to get to work and create a state-of-the-art
facility that everyone here can be proud of," Anderson added. "The
northern Augusta and Martinez neighborhood is underserved in terms
of quality self-storage. Our U-Haul dealers in Martinez are also some of the busiest in the
region, so we hope to alleviate some of the stress on our dealer
network and attend to that demand with a beautiful new Company
store."
U-Haul dealers in and around Augusta continue to be available to serve DIY
movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to offer
rental equipment since 1945. During these challenging times for
small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and
Canada are generating supplemental
income through their U-Haul partnership. When customers rent from
U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in
their community. Because no financial investment is required,
dealers are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses
committing their lot space for U-Haul equipment and their time to
meet the mobility needs of customers. Learn more about how to
partner with U-Haul by visiting uhaul.com/dealer.
