PAYSON,
Ariz., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
recent acquisition of 9.89 acres at 1900 N. Beeline Hwy. will pave
the way for Payson's first
U-Haul® self-storage, retail and moving facility.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Payson is scheduled for completion by
2026.
Plans call for the creation of an attractive three-story
self-storage building encompassing more than 80,000 square feet.
The store will offer more than 600 indoor, ADA-accessible
self-storage units with climate-control options at affordable price
points.
U-Haul also plans to construct a separate secure warehouse for
its portable storage containers.
"This will be our first Company facility in Payson and we're very excited to bring our
trusted self-storage products to this beautiful community," said
James Jessup, U-Haul Company of
Northern Arizona president.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Payson will include a modern retail showroom,
trailer and truck share, towing equipment, boxes and moving
supplies, covered RV and vehicle storage, bike racks and hitch
accessories, and more. Professional hitch installation and propane
refills, exchanges and accessories will also be available.
"Payson is the hub of
Arizona's Rim Country and people
flock here to enjoy the outdoors," Jessup noted. "Having a
convenient U-Haul location with access to necessities is important
for a hiking, camping, biking and fishing community. Not only do we
have products specifically for outdoor living and recreation, but
we also have the needed moving and self-storage solutions that
people expect from an iconic brand like U-Haul."
Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
U-Haul intends to hire 12 Team Members to staff the new store.
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the
Payson community. U-Haul, honored
as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly employer by The
Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its
shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables
communities to share moving equipment so that families and
individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer
belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse
(the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new
stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic
Ready-To-Go Boxes® that are shared hundreds of
times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul
promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest
sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold
winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the
Year.
