U-Haul of Pensacola-Bellview Closes Showroom and Most Services
PENSACOLA, Fla. (Dec. 20, 2019) — U-Haul Moving & Storage of Pensacola-Bellview at 4921 Mobile Hwy. in Pensacola has closed its retail showroom and ceased most other on-site services on the 2.64-acre lot.
The location, which has served Escambia County since 1977, will operate remotely as a U-Haul self-storage and Truck Share 24/7® facility going forward.
Local resident will continue to have their moving needs met 1.2 miles away at the new U-Haul Moving & Storage of West Pensacola at 4211 Mobile Hwy. Customers can find an expansive retail showroom featuring a full line of moving supplies, boxes, hitch accessories, bike racks and more.
The 200 indoor climate-controlled self-storage rooms at Pensacola-Bellview are still available for customer use and will be run remotely by the West Pensacola store, where an additional 800 self-storage rooms will soon be available.
In addition to the closing retail showroom at the 18,189-square-foot Pensacola-Bellview store, U-Haul will also cease hitch installations and propane dispensing. Those services will now be available at the West Pensacola store. Due to Pensacola-Bellview’s closing services, eight Team Members were let go in September.
Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for growth as they pursue means to better meet the needs of customers, but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores, or cease certain business operations at locations.
Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans; physical plant limitations; shifts in demographics; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; and proximity to new or existing U-Haul stores.
