LOS LUNAS, N.M., Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A new U-Haul®
retail, moving and self-storage facility is coming to an
undeveloped site west of Interstate 25 and east of Desert Willow
Road NW in Los Lunas.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Los
Lunas is scheduled for completion by 2023. U-Haul acquired
the 9.81-acre property on Nov.
15.
Plans call for an attractive three-story building featuring more
than 90,000 square feet. The store will offer 650-plus indoor,
ADA-accessible self-storage rooms with climate-control options and
high-tech security features at affordable price points.
"Our closest full-service store to Los
Lunas is 26 miles away in Albuquerque," said Tom
Neill, U-Haul Company of Northern
New Mexico president. "Opening a convenient self-move
facility with clean, spacious storage options is important to meet
customer demand. There is insufficient high-quality storage in
Los Lunas and we will change that
with a building that will make the city and local residents
proud."
The Los Lunas store will become
the 15th U-Haul-owned and -operated facility in New Mexico. There are also 109 independent
small businesses across the state serving do-it-yourself movers as
U-Haul neighborhood dealers.
When the store is completed, customers will have access to truck
and trailer sharing, moving supplies, towing equipment,
professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable storage containers
and more. The current network of U-Haul dealers in and around
Los Lunas will continue to serve
the community's moving needs as well.
"Los Lunas is a growing town
with a great atmosphere," Neill added. "Housing prices here are
reasonable, so the area is attractive. People will always need
residential mobility. That's where U-Haul comes in. We look forward
to expanding our footprint and the number of families we can serve
in Valencia County."
When construction nears completion, Neill will look to hire
staff locally to promote job growth within Los Lunas. U-Haul, honored as a "Best for Vets
2020" leading veteran-friendly employer by The Military Times,
actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring
process. Find U-Haul careers at uhauljobs.com.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul continues to serve
communities during the COVID-19 recovery while offering contactless
business 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 many
other dependent groups, in addition to the do-it-yourself household
mover.
