U-Haul® has significantly enhanced its services for the Marietta community by unveiling a state-of-the-art, 694-room indoor self-storage facility last week. This expansion aims to cater to the growing demand for quality storage solutions among Cobb County residents. Located at 858 Piedmont Road, U-Haul Storage at Canton Road occupies a 2.2-acre property and is conveniently adjacent to its parent store, It Moving & Storage at Canton Road, located at 2800 Canton Road #2000.
A Strategic Addition for Marietta Residents
The new facility is a two-story building equipped with nearly 700 indoor climate-controlled storage units, designed to protect customers’ belongings from extreme temperatures and humidity. These units feature high-end security measures, ensuring that valuable possessions remain safe. Moreover, U-Haul’s commitment to affordability means customers can access premium storage solutions without breaking the bank.
Expanded Services Next Door
The adjacent Its Moving & Storage at Canton Road offers a comprehensive suite of services. Customers can rent trucks and trailers, install hitches, purchase towing accessories, refill propane tanks, and shop for essential moving supplies. This one-stop-shop approach simplifies the moving and storage experience for residents.
Easy Access and Customer Convenience
U-Haul has optimized convenience for its customers by providing flexible operating hours. The new storage facility is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and on Saturdays. On Fridays, it operates until 8 p.m., and on Sundays, the hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Customers can easily reserve storage units or trucks through the U-Haul app or by contacting the Canton Road team at (678) 388-9251.
Community Impact
Pat Spencer, President of U-Haul Company of Atlanta West, expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, “We are very excited to expand our footprint at this prime location in Marietta. Our climate-controlled storage is very popular. The first customers moved their items into this pristine facility on Jan. 15, and we’re prepared to welcome many more.”
In addition to meeting storage needs, U-Haul is contributing to local economic growth by planning to hire up to four team members for the new facility. True to its values, U-Haul prioritizes local hires to foster job creation within the Marietta community. As an organization founded by a WWII Navy veteran, U-Haul is committed to supporting veterans and has been recognized by The Military Times as a Best for Vets employer. This underscores its dedication to giving back to those who have served the country.
Why Climate-Controlled Storage Matters
Climate-controlled storage units are essential for preserving items sensitive to temperature fluctuations and humidity. These include electronics, furniture, photographs, documents, and collectibles. By maintaining a stable environment, these units help prevent damage such as warping, mold growth, and rust, offering peace of mind to customers who entrust their belongings to U-Haul.
High-End Security Features
Security is a top priority at the new Marietta facility. Advanced measures such as electronic access control, 24/7 video surveillance, and individually alarmed units ensure the safety of stored items. These features reflect U-Haul’s commitment to providing a secure and reliable storage experience.
Supporting Sustainable Practices
U-Haul has long been recognized as a leader in sustainability within the moving and storage industry. The company’s truck- and trailer-sharing model reduces waste and promotes resource efficiency. By expanding its storage facilities, U-Haul continues to support environmentally responsible practices, reducing the need for customers to drive long distances to find storage solutions.
Serving the Broader Marietta Community
Marietta is a thriving community with a growing population, making the need for accessible and reliable storage solutions more critical than ever. U-Haul’s new facility not only addresses this demand but also strengthens the company’s relationship with the local community. By hiring locally and offering flexible storage options, U-Haul demonstrates its commitment to being a dependable partner for Marietta residents.
