Hott Steppaz has it all: Barber shop, banquet hall and U-Haul

TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Like a number of U-Haul neighborhood dealers, Hott Steppaz Enterprises is actually several businesses under the umbrella of a single owner.

Sashana Lundy has a barber shop and a banquet hall in her Tampa plaza. Hot Steppaz also boasts a massive lot of U-Haul® equipment that makes it one of the larger U-Haul stops in town.

"I look like an actual, big U-Haul-owned (facility) – not just a dealer!" Lundy exclaimed.

Hott Steppaz offers trucks, trailers, U-Box containers, towing equipment and after-hours drop-off. Reserve U-Haul items at this location by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Tampa-FL today or call (813) 978-8316.

Hott Steppaz is at 11106 N. 30th St. in Tampa, near the University of South Florida and Busch Gardens. Operating hours are: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday-Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Lundy extends a hearty welcome to future customers: "We welcome and appreciate everybody and we look forward to a long-lasting relationship with U-Haul and a great, great 2015."

Hott Steppaz's facility is 4,000 square feet, making it one of the largest in the plaza and allowing for a spacious parking area to accommodate U-Box containers.

The Hall of Fame Banquet Hall has a capacity for 222 people and offers another example of Lundy's business savvy. Although birthday parties, weddings and receptions have been held there, Lundy's favorite function to host is a community networking event that draws councilmen and members of small business development associations.

"These people are good resources to enhance my business, especially since I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce," Lundy said.

While Lundy's decision to become a U-Haul dealer was impulsive, the results might as well have been scripted.

"I am not exaggerating: 70 percent of my customers that come for U-Haul have come back for the barber shop or the banquet hall," Lundy said. "It is tremendous, and the neighbors have been commending me because U-Haul has increased traffic for other businesses at the plaza, also."

Hott Steppaz Enterprises is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck.

From now through Dec. 31, U-Haul will donate $1 to the American Red Cross for every photo submitted.
