U-Haul is incorporating its adaptive reuse practices to convert a former commerce center and industrial park at 121 Kings Hwy. into a full-service moving and storage facility in Maple Shade. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Strawbridge Park opened for business in January.

"This new location offers our customers more convenience and therefore reduced moving costs," U-Haul Company of Southern New Jersey president Paul Kelly said. "Having this location will allow customers moving into Maple Shade the convenience of being able to return their U-Haul rental equipment in the same community."

Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of Strawbridge Park at (856) 316-4451 or stop by to visit general manager Alex Raudez and his team. Hours of operation are from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

Customers currently have access to truck and trailer rentals, towing equipment, moving supplies and U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers. By end of summer, U-Haul Moving & Storage of Strawbridge Park will offer climate-controlled storage encompassing 30,000 square feet. The number of storage units has yet to be determined.

The property, formerly known as Kings Commerce Center, is within a half-mile of Strawbridge Park. Other prominent businesses surround the location such as BJ's Wholesale Club, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, Crossfit 41 South gym, VILLA LA PAWS pet resort, and LittleSPORT.

"This U-Haul store will help the community by increasing customer convenience and reducing our carbon footprint since we have repurposed a declining complex," Kelly added. "The Maple Shade Township governing body has been very cooperative and helpful to U-Haul in the process of moving forward. I believe this is a win-win-win for Maple Shade, its citizens and U-Haul."

The acquisition of the Maple Shade facility 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.
