Coming Soon: U-Haul Announces Plans for Self-Storage Center in Prince George
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. (Dec. 5, 2023) — A state-of-the-art retail, moving and self-storage facility is coming to Prince George thanks to the U-Haul acquisition of 5.24 acres of industrial land at 7087 Bear Road.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Prince George is scheduled for completion by September 2024. The property was acquired in August 2022.
A three-story building is currently under construction and will hold more than 990 indoor self-storage lockers with climate-control options and high-tech security features at affordable price points. There will also be a separate warehouse for portable moving container storage.
“Prince George is an attractive destination for DIY movers and students because it’s home to the University of Northern British Columbia and the College of New Caledonia,” said Mason Kolahdouzan, U-Haul Company of British Columbia president. “As our customers continue to pack up U-Haul trucks and head to Prince George, there is greater demand for quality storage and residential mobility in the region. This new store will help satisfy that demand.”
U-Haul of Prince George feature an attractive retail showroom with boxes and moving supplies, moving truck rentals, trailers and towing equipment, and much more. Rent equipment through the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
Kolahdouzan intends to hire at least 15 Team Members to staff the Prince George store when it is completed. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Prince George community. Find U-Haul careers at uhauljobs.com.
“This project reinforces our dedication to supporting communities and fostering economic growth,” Kolahdouzan added. “Our goal is to assist families during their moves and deliver exceptional customer service and a wide range of products. The proximity of major educational institutions paired with the nearby residential areas makes this location perfect for U-Haul.”
U-Haul dealers in and around Prince George 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.
