U-Haul® is expanding its presence in Moab, Utah, with plans for two new facilities to serve the moving, self-storage, and recreational needs of Grand County. The first, U-Haul Moving & Storage of Moab, will open a temporary retail showroom on Aug. 19, 2023, offering truck rentals and moving supplies. By March 2025, it will feature 700 climate-controlled self-storage units. The second facility, U-Box & Storage of Moab, is set to open in January 2025, providing portable storage and secure RV parking.

These developments align with U-Haul's sustainability initiatives, supporting infill developments and reducing carbon footprint in local communities.

U-Haul has closed its old repair facility at 1570 V. Odom Blvd. in Akron, Ohio, after 43 years of operation. The closure, effective July 19, resulted in 41 Team Members being let go. U-Haul will retain ownership of the building and repurpose it for expansion needs at the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Akron store. Moving trucks and trailers will now be serviced at the new Akron Repair Shop at 1520 V. Odom Blvd.

Alissa Nider, U-Haul Company of Akron president, stated that the region's growth necessitated the move to a larger facility. The new location is expected to inspect more equipment and provide more jobs in the community. This closure is part of U-Haul's ongoing evaluation of its operations to better serve customer needs and adapt to changing market conditions.

U-Haul has opened a new 55,000-square-foot Akron Repair Shop at 1520 V. Odom Blvd., replacing its former facility at 1570 V.

The company plans to hire several new team members, including mechanics, engineers, and technicians, to staff the new shop. U-Haul is committed to promoting job growth in the Akron community and actively recruits veterans, giving them preference in the hiring process. The former repair shop space will be repurposed to serve the needs of the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Akron store.
