NEWS RELEASE
A contemporary U-Haul® facility is coming to Cartersville thanks to the Company’s recent land acquisition of almost five acres at 1411 Joe Frank Harris Parkway SE.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Cartersville is scheduled for completion in May 2024. It will feature a multi-story building encompassing more than 90,000 square feet.
The building will include at least 700 indoor ADA-accessible self-storage rooms with high-tech security features at affordable price points. Plans also call for a separate warehouse for U-Box® portable storage containers.
“We are in growth mode,” stated Doug Weston, U-Haul Company of Atlanta North president. “Our plan is to offer the City of Cartersville a beautiful facility to address the increased demand for secure, clean self-storage. We will provide residents here with convenient access to our self-storage products and shared mobility services.”
When the store is completed, customers will have access to truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies, towing equipment, professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable storage containers, and much more.
Weston will look to hire staff locally to promote job growth within Cartersville. U-Haul, honored as a “Best for Vets 2020” leading veteran-friendly employer by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process. Find U-Haul careers at uhauljobs.com.
“Our closest full-service U-Haul facility is 27 miles away in Kennesaw,” Weston noted. “U-Haul is eager to fill the void of quality self-storage options in this region. Convenience is important to our customers. We aim to provide that.”
The Cartersville store will become the 86th U-Haul-owned and -operated facility in Georgia. There are also more than 1,200 independent small businesses across the state serving do-it-yourself movers as U-Haul neighborhood dealers.
