"This property has great visibility from the interstate and River Watch Parkway, making it an attractive location for a full-service U-Haul center," said Kevin Anderson, U-Haul Company of South Carolina president whose territory includes eastern Georgia. "Home to The Masters® golf tournament, Augusta is a growing community. We see thousands of visitors every year, many of whom set their sights on moving here. With all the growth we're seeing in and around Augusta, there is a clear need for us to expand operations and offer residential mobility to more families."

Anderson intends to hire at least 20 Team Members to staff the new store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth within the Augusta community. U-Haul, honored as a "Best for Vets 2020" leading veteran-friendly employer by The Military Times, actively recruits veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process.

"We're eager to get to work and create a state-of-the-art facility that everyone here can be proud of," Anderson added. "The northern Augusta and Martinez neighborhood is underserved in terms of quality self-storage. Our U-Haul dealers in Martinez are also some of the busiest in the region, so we hope to alleviate some of the stress on our dealer network and attend to that demand with a beautiful new Company store."

U-Haul dealers in and around Augusta continue to be available to serve DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to offer rental equipment since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul partnership. When customers rent from U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in their community. Because no financial investment is required, dealers are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses committing their lot space for U-Haul equipment and their time to meet the mobility needs of customers.
