BRANSON, Mo., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® has acquired the former Mt. Branson Storage facility at 889 State Hwy. 76 to better meet the moving and self-storage demands of Branson residents.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Mt. Branson began serving customers on Aug. 30 and is offering self-storage with extended-hours access. The 3.37-acre property includes a single-story, climate-controlled self-storage building and five drive-up storage buildings. There are 211 self-storage rooms on site.
"This will be the first U-Haul -owned and -operated facility in Branson and we are happy to be part of the community," said Aaron Self, U-Haul Company of Missouri president. "This was already a self-storage operation, so it's an easy transition for us. Our Branson neighbors will have access to our much-needed DIY moving products and services at a convenient location."
Customers now have access to truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment and much more. Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"The U-Haul reuse of existing self-storage properties is great because we're able to prevent new construction and immediately serve our customers," Self said. "We're investing in Branson and look forward to being a staple of this business community for years to come."
Self intends to hire new Team Members to staff the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Mt. Branson store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Branson 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 dealers in and around Branson continue to be available to serve DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to provide communities with accessible mobility since 1945. During these challenging times, more than 21,000 small businesses across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income by partnering with U-Haul. When customers rent from their local U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in their community. Because there is no financial investment from dealers, they are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses with enough lot space to park U-Haul equipment and enough time to welcome more customers while meeting the mobility needs of their neighbors.
