Local residents and media invited to free lunch, facility tours and giveaways on June 22

BREMERTON, Wash. (June 17, 2019) — U-Haul® will host a grand-opening event on June 22 to unveil its newest indoor self-storage facility at U-Haul Storage of Bremerton and Gorst at 4107 State Hwy. 16 W. in Bremerton.

Those in attendance from noon to 3 p.m. will enjoy a free lunch; a behind-the-scenes tour of the store; U-Haul giveaways; music and more. Lunch will be served on a first-come basis.

The modern three-story, 50,000-square-foot facility includes more than 700 self-storage units with high-tech security features at affordable prices. Customers can take advantage of U-Haul Remote 24/7® access, covered load/unload areas, RV/boat/vehicle storage, U-Box® portable storage containers, U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® and more.

Three years of work went into redeveloping, expanding and enhancing the property where a five-building storage complex with just over 200 units once stood.

“Our neighbors on the western shores of the Sinclair Inlet have been asking for a state-of-the-art self-storage facility,” said Kyle Marvin, U-Haul area district vice president. “This area is growing every day. We are pleased to serve such a close-knit community with the moving and self-storage services they need.”
