Edmonton’s Newest U-Haul Store to Offer 800 Self-Storage Lockers
EDMONTON, Alta. (Sept. 6, 2023) — U-Haul® is revealing its plans for a new retail, moving and self-storage center in Edmonton after purchasing 8.24 acres at 3610 91st NW.
U-Haul Moving & Storage at 91st is expected to be completed by the start of 2025.
Preliminary plans call for the creation of a state-of-the-art self-storage building with more than 800 indoor climate-controlled self-storage lockers, along with a separate warehouse for portable moving containers.
Customers will also have access to truck and trailer rentals, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment, professional hitch installation, propane and much more.
Future plans call for the addition of a U-Haul repair shop that will be tasked with assembling and providing preventative maintenance on engines, transmissions, rear axles and more.
“This particular property is perfect for U-Haul because it gives us plenty of room to grow,” said Patrick Cresey, U-Haul Company of Northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and NWT president. “We’ve been looking at properties in this area for many years. We are excited to work with our neighbors and city officials in Edmonton to create an attractive facility that works for everyone.”
Cresey intends to hire at least 10 Team Members to staff the U-Haul Moving & Storage at 91st store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Edmonton community. Find U-Haul careers at uhauljobs.com.

“U-Haul is a strong member of the communities where we operate, and we aim to create jobs and grow the workforce here,” Cresey added. “We’re investing in Edmonton’s future and invite other businesses to follow our lead.”
U-Haul dealers in and around Edmonton 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.
