PENSACOLA, Fla., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is presenting a fully renovated self-storage facility at 4211 Mobile Hwy. thanks to the recent acquisition of a former Kmart® store. U-Haul Moving & Storage of West Pensacola is open and offering truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies, towing equipment, professional hitch installation and more.
The 102,190-square-foot building includes more than 800 indoor self-storage units with climate-control options and high-tech security features at affordable price points. Self-storage customers have U-Haul Remote 24/7® access.
"Pensacola is growing, so U-Haul needs to follow suit," stated Chad Rome, U-Haul Company of South Alabama, whose territory includes Florida panhandle cities. "We're excited to offer our premium self-storage to University of West Florida students, military members moving to and from the Naval Air Station Pensacola, and longtime residents of Pensacola."
Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of West Pensacola at (850) 266-7482 or stop by to visit general manager Justin Peterson and his team. 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.
"Many buildings of this size are left vacant and become eyesores, because most businesses can't use the space," Rome noted. "Our goal here is to provide shared transportation, moving services and self-storage to people from all walks of life."
Acquisition of the property 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.
