BRANSON,
Mo., Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul® has acquired the former Mt. Branson Storage facility at 889 State Hwy. 76 to
better meet the moving and self-storage demands of Branson
residents.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Mt. Branson began serving
customers on Aug. 30 and is offering
self-storage with extended-hours access. The 3.37-acre property
includes a single-story, climate-controlled self-storage building
and five drive-up storage buildings. There are 211 self-storage
rooms on site.
"This will be the first U-Haul -owned and -operated facility in
Branson and we are happy to be
part of the community," said Aaron
Self, U-Haul Company of Missouri president. "This was already a
self-storage operation, so it's an easy transition for us. Our
Branson neighbors will have access to our much-needed DIY moving
products and services at a convenient location."
Customers now have access to truck and trailer rentals,
boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment and much more. Reserve
equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at
1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"The U-Haul reuse of existing self-storage properties is great
because we're able to prevent new construction and immediately
serve our customers," Self said. "We're investing in Branson and look forward to being a staple of
this business community for years to come."
Self intends to hire new Team Members to staff the U-Haul Moving
& Storage of Mt. Branson store. U-Haul will look to hire
locally to promote job growth within the Branson community. U-Haul,
honored as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly employer by The
Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them
preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers

U-Haul dealers in and around Branson continue to be available to
serve DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to
provide communities with accessible mobility since 1945. During
these challenging times, more than 21,000 small businesses across
the U.S. and Canada are generating
supplemental income by partnering with U-Haul. When customers rent
from their local U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small
businesses in their community. Because there is no financial
investment from dealers, they are not U-Haul franchises. They are
simply small businesses with enough lot space to park U-Haul
equipment and enough time to welcome more customers while meeting
the mobility needs of their neighbors. Learn how to partner with
