“There’s a demand there” in the Dayton area for U-Haul’s services, Mark Brown, marketing president for U-Haul’s Dayton-area operations, said Monday. “We are growing as a company and expanding.”
The new Vandalia location will offer moving trucks and vans, towing equipment and support items.
Brown said the build-out of storage units is still underway at the Miamisburg facility that formerly housed Dick’s Sporting Goods and h.h. gregg stores at 234 and 240 N. Springboro Pike (Ohio 741).
U-Haul is creating climate-controlled self-storage units inside a portion of the building, and building free-standing storage units separate from the main building.
A similar project is underway in Huber Heights, where U-Haul purchased a former 94,000-square-foot Big Lots store at 6550 Brandt Pike (Ohio 201). That facility will hold as many as 600 temperature-controlled storage units, Brown said.
Most recently, U-Haul officials said in June they plan to expand operations in the city of Riverside by investing between $2 million and $3 million into a property adjacent to its existing location on Linden Avenue. The company bought the 30,658-square-foot building at 4515 Linden Ave., and plans to open a full-service storage facility with climate control and a U-Box warehouse on that site as well.
