"U-Haul has been looking to grow its storage footprint in Pueblo County for years," said Randi Crompton , U-Haul Company of Southern Colorado president. "By acquiring these existing self-storage facilities, we're able to bring our services closer to residents who need them. U-Haul has been a staple in the Pueblo community since the 1980s and we're excited to expand our network of convenient locations."
U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables communities to share moving equipment so that families and individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes ® that are shared hundreds of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the Year .
