U-Haul breaks ground on a 1,400-room storage facility in Sioux Falls, scheduled for completion by early 2025.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul^® broke ground last week on a new retail, moving and self-storage facility at 3500 Powder House Road.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Veterans Parkway is scheduled for completion by early 2025. The center will enable U-Haul, the industry leader in DIY moving and self-storage, to better meet the needs of its growing customer base in Minnehaha County.

The eight-acre property will host a pair of three-story buildings, each encompassing 700 climate-controlled self-storage units (1,400 rooms total) with 24-hour customer access. Units will have high-end security features at affordable prices.

Plans include a separate warehouse to hold 1,250 mobile storage containers. U-Box^® containers can be delivered and picked up at your door, packed in your timeframe, and stored in a secure warehouse until you are ready to receive your belongings.

In addition, customers will have access to moving trucks, trailers, boxes and packing supplies, professional hitch installation and towing equipment, propane and much more. Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

"We're excited to expand our presence on the east side of Sioux Falls, especially given the tremendous commercial and residential growth in the area," said U-Haul Company of Fargo president Shawn Odden, whose region includes North and South Dakota. "Our new center will not only create exciting career opportunities but serve as the city's premier facility for those seeking trusted moving and storage solutions."

U-Haul intends to hire up to 20 Team Members to staff the store when it is ready. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Sioux Falls 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.

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.
