U-Haul® is now serving customers at two new self-storage
locations in southern Alabama.
The former Wolf Bay Storage facilities in Robertsdale and
Elberta were acquired on Oct. 22. The properties had served as
U-Haul dealer locations for more than 20 years.
“Baldwin County is one of the fastest growing counties in the
U.S. and a favorite spot for vacationers,” stated Chad Rome, U-Haul
Company of South Alabama president. “This is a great opportunity
for U-Haul to expand into new markets and serve more customers with
our trusted moving and storage products.”
U-Haul Moving and Storage of Robertsdale at 20121 Baldwin
Beach Express encompasses 266,000 square feet across four
buildings. U-Haul customers have access to 229 self-storage units
and 58 RV/boat/vehicle storage spaces available for rent.
U-Haul Moving and Storage of Elberta at 9901 County Road
83 spans 224,000 square feet across 11 buildings. There is a
selection of 317 climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled
storage units for rent, as well as 95 RV/boat/vehicle storage
spaces.
Combined, U-Haul acquired 546 storage units and 153
RV/boat/vehicle storage spaces on more than 11 acres. Both
locations will continue to serve customers with truck and trailer
rentals, boxes, moving supplies and more from their retail
showrooms.
Normal business hours at U-Haul of Robertsdale and U-Haul of
Elberta are 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday; and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. Download the U-Haul app to
reserve storage or moving equipment.
Rome intends to hire up to 10 Team Members between the two
stores. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth
within Baldwin County. U-Haul, founded by a WWII Navy veteran and
honored as a Best for Vets employer by The Military Times, actively
recruits veterans and gives them hiring preference. Find U-Haul

County annually.
