TUCSON, Ariz., July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul of
Southwest at 32 W. Ajo Way will be
closing the doors to its retail showroom and ceasing other store
operations in the coming weeks.
Plans call for the facility, which has been serving the DIY
moving public in Tucson since
1976, to be leased to a new tenant.
U-Haul is transferring the possessions of its self-storage
customers to a new Company-owned and -operated store less than two
miles away at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Bravo Park at 1265 E.
Benson Hwy. In addition to self-storage options, customers will
find an expansive showroom featuring a full line of moving
supplies, boxes, hitches, towing accessories, bike racks and more
to fill the void left by U-Haul of Southwest.
As a result of U-Haul of Southwest closing, five U-Haul Team
Members will be let go.
Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for
growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers,
but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores.
Reasons for closures may include: long-term strategic plans;
physical plant limitations, including insufficient square footage;
shifts in demographics; trends in migration; expansion of the
U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; and proximity to new or
existing U-Haul stores.

As an essential service provider, U-Haul has remained open
throughout the COVID-19 outbreak while offering contactless
programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added steps for
sanitizing equipment between customer transactions. U-Haul products
are used daily by First Responders; delivery companies bringing
needed supplies to people's homes; small businesses trying to
remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent
groups, in addition to the household mover.
