BRUNSWICK, Maine, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul of Cooks
Corner closed its doors for the final time on Sept. 30.
Though U-Haul® operations ceased at 173 Bath Road, the Company
announced that is plans to maintain ownership and lease the
property to a new tenant. The facility has been serving
do-it-yourself movers in Brunswick
since 1986.
Customers of this location can now find U-Haul products less
than two miles away at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Arrow Hart at
1 Cressey Road. This is the site of the former Arrow Hart
electrical equipment plant that was acquired in 2016.
U-Haul is offering truck and trailer sharing, indoor
self-storage, U-Box® portable storage containers, moving supplies,
boxes, towing equipment, hitch accessories, bike racks and much
more at its new facility.
Acquisition of the Arrow Hart store 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.
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, including insufficient square footage;
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 Cooks Corner store closing, three U-Haul 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.

U-Haul is keeping its Team Members and customers safe.
