SIERRA VISTA, Ariz.,
July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul Moving & Storage of Sierra Vista, a self-move store at 700 E. Fry
Blvd., is permanently closing its doors on July 20.
Plans call for U-Haul® to maintain ownership of the property and
lease the facility to a new tenant. The facility has been serving
DIY movers in Cochise County since
1984.
Customers of the Sierra Vista
location can find U-Haul products just 1.2 miles away at U-Haul
Moving & Storage of Veterans Park at 2011 E. Fry Blvd. The
facility, site of a former Kmart® store that U-Haul acquired in
2018, offers truck and trailer sharing, self-storage units, U-Box®
portable moving and storage containers, moving supplies and boxes,
towing equipment and hitch accessories, bike racks and more.
Acquisition of the Veterans Park store was driven by U-Haul
Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill
developments to help local communities lower their carbon
footprint. The adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the
amount of energy and resources required for new-building materials
and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused
buildings.
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 can 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 other new or
existing U-Haul stores.
As a result of the Sierra Vista
store closing, three U-Haul Team Members will be let go.
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.

U-Haul is keeping its Team Members and customers safe during the
summer moving season.
