DANVILLE, Va., Jan. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A
state-of-the-art U-Haul® retail, moving and self-storage facility
is coming to Danville thanks to
the Company's recent land acquisition of almost nine acres
northwest of Riverview Drive and east of Park Avenue.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Riverview is scheduled for
completion in 2023. It will feature a multi-story building
encompassing more than 100,000 square feet. The facility will
contain at least 700 indoor, ADA-accessible self-storage rooms with
climate-control options and high-tech security features at
affordable price points.
"We're in expansion mode," noted Jeffrey
Messenger, U-Haul Company of Southern Virginia president. "Our goal is to
offer the City of Danville a
beautiful facility to address the growth and increased demand that
we're seeing. This store will provide residents with convenient
access to our self-storage products and shared mobility
services."
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Riverview will have a spacious
retail showroom and essential services like truck and trailer
sharing, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment, U-Box®
portable storage containers and more. Professional hitch
installation and propane will be available in the future.
Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
While the store is under construction, U-Haul dealers in and
around Danville are available to
serve DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to
offer rental equipment since 1945. During these challenging times
for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and
Canada are generating supplemental
income through their U-Haul partnership. When customers rent from
U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in
their community. Because no financial investment is required,
dealers are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses
committing their lot space for U-Haul equipment and their time to
meet the mobility needs of customers. Learn more about how to
partner with U-Haul by visiting uhaul.com/dealer.
Messenger plans to hire at least 15 Team Members to staff the
new facility. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job
growth within the Danville
community. 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

"We're thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Danville's development and future," added
Messenger.
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.
