U-Haul Opens its First Store in Missouri Capital

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul has established business in the capital city of Missouri with the opening of U-Haul Moving and Storage of Jefferson City. Formerly Capitol View Self Storage, this facility now offers a full line of U-Haul products and services, including truck and trailer rentals, self-storage and moving supplies.

The 1.38 acre property contains one 48,540 square foot building constructed in 1974. This building, located at 311 Ellis Boulevard, was converted into self-storage in two phases between 2005 and 2012. All 260 self‑storage rooms are climate-controlled. This property also has 18 RV parking spaces on-site.

While improvements are still being made to this facility, the staff at U-Haul Moving and Storage of Jefferson City is already receiving praise for their renovations in the showroom.

Kevin Neighbors, marketing company president of U-Haul Company of Missouri is happy to bring Jefferson City its first U-Haul Store.

"Having a U-Haul Moving and Storage location in our state capitol for the first time makes a statement to everyone in the area that U-Haul is here to serve the growing community in Jefferson City, Missouri and the surrounding areas," Neighbors explained.

"We were able to retain Pam Gentry, the previous general manager of Capitol View Self Storage," Neighbors continued. "Pam had been the general manager for 13 years and has a great relationship with our current customers. We are lucky to have Pam and look forward to working with her for many years to come."

The acquisition of Capitol View Self Storage was driven by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill development to help local communities lower their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and resources required for new-construction materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
