MANHEIM,
Pa., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
U-Haul® will break ground on Thursday, March 7, for its newest retail and
self-storage facility in Pennsylvania at 1985 State Road in
Manheim.
Residents, city officials and media are invited to the event
from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. There will be
giveaways and remarks from Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and U-Haul
officials.
"This site was part of the Landis Farm and has easy access to
Route 283 and State Road," said Jeff
Levengood, U-Haul Owners Representative for Northeastern Pennsylvania. "This community is
growing. There are new housing projects everywhere. Being located
near the newly constructed Penn State Health Lancaster Medical
Center is important and convenient for our customers."
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Lancaster is scheduled to open in 2025.
The proposed three-story facility will include 1,295 indoor
climate-controlled self-storage rooms with high-tech security
features at affordable price points. A warehouse for
U-Box® mobile storage containers will also be
constructed on the 13.33-acre property.
Customers will also have access to truck and trailer sharing
services; moving supplies; an enclosed load/unload area to shield
customers from the weather; U-Haul Remote 24/7® access;
and more.

U-Haul intends to hire 20 Team Members to staff the new store
when it is ready. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job
growth within the Manheim
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

"We're excited to expand our reach in Lancaster County," said Kurt Hoffman, U-Haul Company of Harrisburg president. "We take pride in
providing trusted moving and self-storage products that everyone
needs. This project will help us meet customer demand, and I'm
confident our customers will be very impressed with the finished
result."
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.
