All a Cart Expands Again as Jeff Morris Becomes U-Haul Dealer

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Movies are being shot and musical albums recorded inside the studios of Jeff Morris' manufacturing plant.

His facility has a spray paint booth large enough to park an airplane that is used for all of his car restoration business and custom projects.

That's to say nothing of his trademark vending carts that started it all at All a Cart.

Morris' latest entrepreneurial move is utilizing his 55-acre property as part of the U-Haul® dealer network. He was already a U-Haul customer before partnering with the leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage.

All a Cart is at 2001 Courtright Road near Interstate 70. Hours of operation are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

This manufacturing journey sprouted from Morris the Florist. To transport flowers, he constructed a refrigerated cart. The carts evolved into Flowers A La Carte and were produced for Kroger grocery stores. Immediately, there was demand in other areas.

"I'd get calls, 'Can you make a pizza cart, coffee cart, hot dog cart?'" Morris explained.

All a Cart was the answer. Established in 1972, All a Cart supplies carts to companies like McDonald's®, Pizza Hut® and Nestle®, Morris said.

Morris' massive facility makes carts, kiosks, trucks, trailers, trikes and portable buildings. Food operators who buy from All a Cart often rent U-Haul trucks to haul equipment to events.

By itself, All a Cart has overwhelming reach. Yet Morris's horizons branched into car restoration and the movie/music industry. All Car Excellence is a branch of All a Cart dedicated to restoring classic cars and building custom cars.

Morris' most recent expansion is JMO Music and Movie Studios, which features four sound stages and five rehearsal rooms.

"Many artists want to record in privacy, so there are fences around the property," Morris said. "I can say that among other Hollywood film companies and music artists, the Jersey Boys and the Plain White T's have recently recorded here."

JMO Studios has one perk most movie houses don't: U-Haul equipment to move stage materials around.

"U-Haul is a huge asset that adds to our image," JMO Studios manager T.J. Cooley said.
