Insights

This new facility acquisition represents a strategic but relatively minor expansion for U-Haul in North Carolina. While the 457-unit climate-controlled storage facility adds to U-Haul's regional footprint as their 49th location in the state, the impact on UHAL's overall business is minimal given their extensive national operations.

The facility's location near U.S. Route 64 and planned expansion to include outdoor units and U-Box containers indicates solid growth potential in an underserved market. However, with only two planned new hires and serving primarily local county needs, this development represents standard operational growth rather than a significant revenue driver for a company with a $13.5B market cap.

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U-Haul® is opening its first retail, moving and storage center today in Rocky Mount to better meet the residential mobility and self-storage needs of Nash and Edgecombe Counties.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Rocky Mount at 131 S. Wesleyan Blvd. was acquired on Nov. 20. The 8.59-acre property was previously the site of Rocky Mount Storage.

The facility, which offers a variety of 457 indoor climate-controlled storage units for rent, also has truck and trailer sharing; a retail showroom with boxes and moving supplies; and green initiatives like the Take A Box, Leave A Box program.

In the future, customers will have access to outdoor drive-up storage units and U-Box® portable moving and storage containers.

This is the 49th U-Haul-owned and -operated store in North Carolina. It is conveniently situated at the corner of South Wesleyan Boulevard and Sunset Avenue, just off U.S. Route 64.

“We are very excited to bring U-Haul services to an underserved community,” said U-Haul Company of Eastern North Carolina president Chris Perry. “We have needed this type of facility in Rocky Mount for several years now.

Perry plans to hire two Team Members to help staff the facility. U-Haul seeks to hire locally to promote job growth within the communities it serves.
