"We received an opportunity to purchase this property and create a valuable asset to serve local residents," said Shawn Carvara, U-Haul Company of East Orlando president. "Greater Orlando continues to be one of the country's top growth areas. The South Goldenrod center helps us address demand for our DIY moving solutions and trusted self-storage products while creating jobs for the community."

U-Haul will hire up to five Team Members to staff the store and will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Orlando community.

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.
