New Owner at Caroline’s Country Store Partners with U-Haul
OPP, ALA. (April 20, 2015) – Caroline’s Country Store LLC has committed to make moving easier for the farmers, college students and hardworking citizens of its community by joining the U-Haul® dealer network.
Caroline’s Country Store at 28502 U.S. Hwy. 84 E. is open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
In addition to providing gas, diesel, groceries and goods, Caroline’s Country Store now carries U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment and support rental items. Reserve U-Haul products here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Opp-AL or calling (334) 493-2822 today.
Scotty Short took ownership of the store late last year and recently chose to partner with U-Haul after the previous tenant, who was also a U-Haul dealer, left. Short made several upgrades to the facility and plans to keep his customers happy by offering equipment from the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage.
“It’s convenient for a lot of people,” Caroline’s Country Store employee Sharon Hall said.
Caroline’s Country Store is located near Troy University, which creates a lot of traffic at the store and should attract U-Haul customers throughout the year.
“A lot of it is just moving down the street, and a lot of it is college students,” Hall said.
Hall noted that many farmers who own chicken houses in the community come in to get gas or diesel and then return to rent U-Haul trucks after seeing the high-end equipment and affordable prices.
U-Haul and Caroline’s Country Store 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.
Caroline’s Country Store is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in 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 photos and learn more.
