Couple Creates Niche in Ocean Springs with Antiques and U-Haul
OCEAN SPRINGS, MISS. (March 23, 2015) – Ocean Springs Antique Galleria and a budding partnership with U-Haul have allowed Gary and Pam Biddix to begin transitioning into their retirement.
A few months after opening the doors to their antique shop in April 2014, Gary and Pam opted to join the U-Haul® dealer network and offer their customers trucks, trailers and towing equipment, support rental items, in-store pick-up for boxes and after-hours drop-off.
Ocean Springs Antique Galleria is at 3940 Bienville Blvd. and is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon-4 p.m. Sunday. Reserve U-Haul products here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Ocean-Springs-MS or calling (228) 215-0755 today.
Gary and Pam started Ocean Springs Antique Galleria after they retired to expand on a passion and create a great way to generate a little money.
Gary, who was formerly in real estate, added U-Haul to the plan after they moved from Florida to Mississippi and realized the value its products could provide their new community.
It made sense for Ocean Springs Antique Galleria to partner with U-Haul because many of its customers are in need of a way to transport their purchases. The business’ close proximity to Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi also offers Gary and Pam a target audience for their U-Haul trucks and trailers.
Gary, Pam and store manager Justin Fisher have been working together for years and are eager to assist you with all of your antiquing and moving needs.
U-Haul and Ocean Springs Antique Galleria are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
Ocean Springs Antique Galleria is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit your photos and learn more.
