Insights

The opening of U-Haul's 840-room self-storage facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi represents a strategic expansion in a growing market. The 105,196-square-foot facility's location on a high-traffic corridor positions UHAL to capture increasing demand in DeSoto County's rapidly developing area. The facility's comprehensive offering including climate-controlled storage, retail showroom and U-Box warehouse space demonstrates an integrated approach to maximizing revenue per square foot.

The planned hiring of 15 team members indicates modest operational costs, while the facility's size and modern amenities suggest strong potential for steady cash flow generation. However, the incremental impact on UHAL's overall revenue will be given the company's extensive existing operations. The investment aligns with industry trends showing growing demand for self-storage in suburban markets but faces competition in an increasingly saturated sector.

“We are proud to be part of the Olive Branch family and are ready to fulfill our duty to the community,” added Jeff Porter, U-Haul Area District Vice President.

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 recently named the Best in Biz gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the Year.
