U-Haul has acquired the Duke Mini Storage facility in East Peoria, Ill., to better meet the moving, self-storage and RV/boat storage customers’ needs.
The property, now U-Haul Moving & Storage of East Peoria, was acquired in February and is remotely operated by U-Haul Moving & Storage of Morton.
Thanks to the 5.41-acre acquisition, U-Haul customers have access to an additional 58 self-storage units and 99 covered RV, boat and vehicle storage spaces in East Peoria. U-Haul is also offering truck and trailer rentals, boxes, moving supplies, towing equipment and more. Storage customers can attain extended-hours access.
“Bringing the trusted U-Haul brand to East Peoria residents is part of our growth strategy,” said Zareh Minasian, U-Haul Company of Central Illinois president. “The Peoria area is in the heart of Illinois and always attracts new residents. We want to offer the most affordable and convenient self-storage options to our customers. Taking over an existing self-storage facility will make for a seamless transition.”
Founded in 1945, U-Haul is a No. 1 choice of do-it-yourself movers with more than 23,000 rental locations across all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. U-Haul is the third largest self-storage operator in North America with 967,000 rentable units and 83.3 million square feet of storage space.Â
