U-Haul\u00ae announced its purchase of two former Freedom Self Storage properties in Pueblo County. They are at 469 E. Spaulding Ave. in Pueblo West and 827 Village Circle in Pueblo.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The properties, now U-Haul Moving & Storage of Pueblo West and U-Haul Moving & Storage of University Park, respectively, were acquired on Feb. 14. The acquisitions will enable U-Haul, the industry leader in DIY moving and self-storage, to better meet the needs of its growing customer base in Colorado.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n U-Haul of Pueblo West offers 269 self-storage units and 53 RV, boat and vehicle storage spaces for rent. U-Haul of University Park offers 215 self-storage units and 28 vehicle storage spaces. The locations also provide customers with access to moving trucks and trailers, boxes, moving supplies and more. Storage customers can attain extended-hours access.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Plans call for the addition of U-Box\u00ae warehouses at both properties. The buildings will be used for the storage of hundreds of portable moving containers. U-Haul of Pueblo West will also offer truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment and more. Climate-controlled self-storage options will also be added to the facility.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Download the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n “U-Haul has been looking to grow its storage footprint in Pueblo County for years,” said Randi Crompton, U-Haul Company of Southern Colorado president. “By acquiring these existing self-storage facilities, we’re able to bring our services closer to residents who need them. U-Haul has been a staple in the Pueblo community since the 1980s and we’re excited to expand our network of convenient locations.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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\u00ae 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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n About U-HAUL<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Founded in 1945, U-Haul is the No. 1 choice of do-it-yourself movers with more than 23,000 rental locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces.
