DECATUR,
Ala., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
U-Haul® has acquired the former Assured
Storage® property at 2214 Beltline Road SW in
Decatur to better meet the
self-storage needs of Morgan
County.
The property, now U-Haul Storage of Decatur, was purchased on April 26. It is operated remotely by parent store
U-Haul at Beltline at 2002 Beltline Road SW, less than one mile
away. This is the third U-Haul-owned facility serving the
Decatur community.
U-Haul Storage of Decatur sits
on nearly two acres and features 246 self-storage units with
high-end security features at affordable price points. There is a
mix of indoor climate-controlled rooms and drive-up units from
which customers can rent.
Normal business hours 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 self-storage or moving equipment on the
U-Haul app or call U-Haul at Beltline at (256) 350-6911.
"We're grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the
families of Decatur," said
Brad Weston, U-Haul Company of
Northern Alabama president. "Both
of our full-service stores in Decatur are at 100% storage capacity much of
the year, so we're thrilled to provide a third storage facility
that can accommodate our customers and address the growth we're
seeing in northern Alabama."
U-Haul intends to hire two new Team Members at the parent store
to support the remote facility. U-Haul will look to hire locally to
promote job growth in the Decatur
community. Honored as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly
employer by The Military Times, U-Haul actively recruits veterans
and gives them preference in the hiring process. Find careers

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its
shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables
communities to share moving equipment so that families and
individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer
belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse
(the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new
stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic
Ready-To-Go Boxes® that are shared hundreds of
times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul
promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest
sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold
winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the
Year.
