SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A state-of-the-art retail and self-storage facility is coming together at 7300 E. Adobe Drive in Scottsdale thanks to the U-Haul® acquisition of a former metal scrapyard.
U-Haul Moving & Storage at Pinnacle Peak will be located just off N. Scottsdale Road and less than a mile south of E. Pinnacle Peak Road. U-Haul will offer truck and trailer sharing; U-Box® portable storage containers; professional hitch installation; and a retail showroom featuring hitch accessories, moving supplies, boxes and much more. The property was acquired on Nov. 25.
Extensive renovations and construction will soon render a number of indoor climate-controlled self-storage units with high-tech security features at affordable price points.
LA CROSSE, Wis. U-Haul wants “to blend in with the city, not be against it,” a company official told participants in a virtual meeting Monday night who quizzed his plans for the vacant former Kmart building on the city’s South Side.
Up to 50 residents and city officials tuned in to the Bluffside Neighborhood Association meeting, raising concerns about the appearance, landscaping, lighting, potential traffic, and other issues if U-Haul buys the building at Losey Boulevard and State Road.
The building has been vacant since Kmart closed in 2017, and city officials, neighbors and new owners George Parke and Festival had hoped to find a buyer who would develop it into mixed-use of retail and residential with no takers.

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, some have taken to bike-riding on county trails. Some have taken to moving across state lines.
Now, in a new report from U-Haul, the moving company took a closer look at just where people are relocating to when they choose to move across state borders. Based on the net gains of U-Haul trucks across borders for each state, they compiled a ranking of all 50 states. The state with the largest net gain of U-Haul trucks crossing its borders last year? Tennessee, followed by Texas and Florida in second and third place, respectively. Representing the South, Missouri (7th), North Carolina (9th), and Georgia (10th) also made it onto the top 10.

City hall in Belleville, Ont., which ranked as the fourth hottest growth city in Canada over the past year, according to data from U-Haul.
If you want to know where people are moving these days, just ask U-Haul. The do-it-yourself moving company has developed a system for tracking migration patterns by looking at the pick-up and drop-off locations of its trucks and trailers.
It’s “an effective gauge of how well cities are attracting and maintaining residents,” the company says, and in the pandemic year of 2020, it seems the Canadian city that saw the biggest growth on that front was North Bay.
