WACO, Texas (April 11, 2018) — U-Haul® will be holding a grand opening of the Company’s newest contemporary indoor self-storage facility on April 18 at 200 Texas Central Pkwy.
All in attendance can take a behind-the-scenes tour of the new building while enjoying free food, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, giveaways and other activities. The event is from 3-5 p.m.
“We’re excited to unveil our top-of-the-line self-storage facility,” said Matthew McMillan, U-Haul Company of North Austin president. “This will be our first climate-controlled self-storage facility in Waco as we look to invest more into this growing community.”
U-Haul Moving & Storage at Texas Central Parkway opened in 1995, offering truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies and outdoor drive-up self-storage. Work on a new building began in summer 2016, with more 18 months of construction yielding a pristine 16,023-square-foot space with 372 climate-controlled self-storage units. The facility offers U-Haul Remote 24/7® access, high-tech security features and affordable price points.
The updated 2.11-acre property includes a warehouse for U-Box moving and portable storage containers. There will be approximately 100 U-Box containers on site for rent.
“Business in Waco is booming and we are excited to serve new residents and lifetime Waco families,” general manager Marcus Brown said. “SpaceX, Dr. Pepper and a plethora of warehouses are bringing jobs to this community. Many people need our state-of-the-art self-storage and moving products. This new facility will proudly represent Waco for many years.”
