RAPID CITY, S.D. , Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A contemporary U-Haul ® retail, moving and self-storage facility is coming to Rapid City thanks to the land acquisition of 7.5 acres on East Stumer Road.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Catron Blvd. is budgeted for completion by early 2025.
The property will host a three-story building with more than 80,000 square feet, housing at least 900 indoor ADA-accessible self-storage rooms with high-tech security features at affordable price points. Plans also call for a separate warehouse for portable moving containers .
Once the store is ready, customers will have access to truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies, towing equipment and professional hitch installation, U-Box ® containers, propane and more.
Reserve equipment on the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
"U-Haul is in growth mode," stated U-Haul Company of Fargo president Shawn Odden , whose territory includes Rapid City . "This property was an attractive investment because it's located near the Ellsworth Air Force Base and the constantly growing Black Hills region."
U-Haul intends to hire 12 Team Members to staff the new store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Rapid City community. U-Haul, honored as a Best for Vets leading veteran-friendly employer by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process.

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 .
