DAYTON, Ohio, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul has
repurposed a former shopping plaza at 3936 Salem Ave. to bring new
self-storage options to Montgomery
County residents.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Harrison Township has been
serving the community at its Salem Avenue location since 1992, but
the addition of this adjoining property offers a much-needed
solution to the storage demands of U-Haul customers.
"Before we acquired this property, there weren't any
self-storage units available at this location," said Mark Quinn, U-Haul Company of Dayton president. "Now we have constructed 138
indoor climate-controlled storage units to offer our
customers."
Self-storage customers have access to 24-hour electronic
key-card entry, state-of-the-art security features and units at
varying sizes and price points. The 10,026-square-foot acquisition
is less than two miles from State Route 49, where surrounding
residential areas had been lacking dry, safe and secure
self-storage at affordable rates.
"Self-storage is a booming business with a lot of our
customers," general manager Matt
Barnhill noted. "There wasn't a whole lot of storage in this
area until we stepped in and met a need."
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Harrison Township continues to offer truck and
trailer rentals, towing equipment and professional hitch
installation, moving supplies, boxes, U-Box portable moving and
self-storage containers, propane and much more.
Contact us at (937) 278-0637 or stop by to see the new
self-storage units available. Hours of operation are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday;
7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and
9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve
equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
The acquisition of the Harrison
Township addition in November
2014 was driven by U-Haul Company's Corporate
Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill development to
help local communities lower their carbon footprint. Our adaptive
reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and
resources required for new-construction materials and helps cities
reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
"This building has been a myriad of things over the years, and
it was beginning to look rundown after sitting abandoned," Barnhill
said. "It's exciting to give this old building a new purpose. We're
going to be able to serve more customers. People already love it.
My local move average is only six miles, so our residents like a
facility that's nearby and convenient to them."
