GRANDVIEW, Mo., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul has
found a new home at 12121-12127 Blue Ridge Boulevard in
Grandview, Missouri. Located
adjacent to the historical Truman Farms, U‑Haul Moving and Storage
at Truman Farms is ready to serve Grandview and the surrounding Kansas City communities.
On 7.69 acres of land sits two buildings: one 59,881 square foot
building and one 34,162 square foot building. U-Haul Moving and
Storage at Truman Farms occupies 2,000 square feet in the smaller
of the two buildings. This facility offers truck and trailer
rentals and U-Box moving and self-storage container storage.
U-Haul is sharing the historic Truman Farms strip mall with
several other businesses, making it a convenient location for the
community. Other nearby businesses include: a U.S. Army recruiting
center, Subway, H&R Block, Blue Ridge Family Physicians,
Cricket Wireless and Hickerson Construction Company.
This new facility gets its name from Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president
of the United States, who lived
and worked on his grandparents' farm from 1906 to 1917. The
original farmhouse and three barns are still standing next to the
Truman Farms strip mall where U-Haul is located.
While there is still work to be done to bring U-Haul Moving and
Storage at Truman Farms up to U-Haul Company standards, Marketing
Company President Aaron Krueger is
excited about bringing U‑Haul services to Grandview.
"We can now offer all of our U-Haul services to the residents in
Grandview and surrounding
Kansas City communities," stated
Krueger. "Being able to offer our U-Box moving and self‑storage
containers will add convenience for our customers and significantly
reduce time spent driving to pick up truck or trailer rentals."
The acquisition of this vacant building 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.
