MISHAWAKA, Ind., May 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® has strengthened its investment
in Mishawaka, purchasing 11.23
acres at 16963 Douglas Road where a new retail, moving and
self-storage facility will be built.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of University Park is slated for
completion by summer 2026. The lot was acquired on May 15 and will be home to the fourth

U-Haul of University Park will be a full-service center. It will
feature a three-story building showcasing 967 indoor
climate-controlled self-storage rooms with high-tech
security features at affordable prices. Plans also call for truck
and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment
and professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable
moving containers, propane and more.
"We are excited to make trusted U-Haul products and services
even more convenient for Mishawaka
residents and the wonderful people associated with the University of Notre Dame," said Ray Powell, U-Haul Company of Northern Indiana and South Cook County
president. "We look forward to being a good neighbor by building a
beautiful facility, creating jobs and meeting a basic need for this
growing community."
Powell plans to hire up to 17 Team Members to staff the new
store when ready. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job
growth in the Mishawaka community.
U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets employer by The Military Times,
actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring
process. Find U-Haul careers

Until the University Park store is ready, customers can find
U-Haul moving and self-storage services at the following
Mishawaka stores:
- U-Haul Storage of McKinley Avenue at 816 E. McKinley
Ave.
- U-Haul Storage of Grape Road at 5213 Grape Road
- U-Haul Storage of Douglas Road at 5510 Shaughn St.
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 recently named the 2023 Best in Biz
gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of
the Year.
