U-Haul® has purchased the Advantage Storage facility at 1012 E. Navajo Drive to better meet the moving and self-storage demands of Hobbs residents.
Now U-Haul Storage of East Hobbs, the property was acquired on Jan. 4. It is less than a mile from U-Haul Moving & Storage of Hobbs at 101 W. Navajo Drive.
Thanks to the 6.62-acre acquisition, U-Haul customers now have access to 468 additional self-storage units. U-Haul is also offering truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment and more at the East Hobbs store. Storage customers can attain extended-hours access.
Plans also call for a U-Box® storage warehouse on the property. The added building will be used to store hundreds of portable moving containers.

“We’re excited to expand our self-storage footprint in Hobbs,” said Bianca Sotelo-Herrera, U-Haul Company of Southern New Mexico president. “Convenience is key. We want to offer more trusted and affordable self-storage options to our Lea County customers. Taking over an existing self-storage facility is a fast and eco-friendly way to do this.”
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.
