MANHEIM, Penn., Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Barns previously used to house livestock, store feed and manufacture dairy have been renovated and repurposed as storage facilities at Stiegel Valley Self Storage.
Kristen and Kyle Haldeman originally bought the property at 698 Stiegel Valley Road with other plans in mind, but fate offered the couple a new opportunity. They have 37 storage units and recently expanded their business by becoming a U-Haul neighborhood dealer.
Stiegel Valley Self Storage is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 2 p.m.-6 p.m. Friday; and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. Reserve U-Haul® trucks and cargo vans here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Manheim-PA or calling (717) 664-0558 today.
"U-Haul is a good thing to offer the people who have units here," Kristen said.
Stiegel Valley Self Storage sits on a farm that was established 100 years ago. The Haldemans bought the 10-acre property to expand Kyle's plumbing business. The storage units came along once they converted the barns.
U-Haul is a proponent of sustainability and adaptive reuse, which the Haldemans have applied in their business model. Stiegel Valley Self Storage, which offers after-hours drop-off for U-Haul equipment, has been open two years and has enjoyed great success since teaming with U-Haul in late 2014.
Kristen noted the majority of their U-Haul renters are local citizens who have purchased a new appliance, such as a washing machine or dryer, and prefer to move it on their own.
Since Kyle was raised in Manheim, people do business with Stiegel Valley Self Storage because they know the family and are certain of their service they will receive.
"It's a small community and my husband grew up here," Kristen said. "Everyone knows him, so we see lots of familiar faces. But when people leave one week, another person fills the unit up the next week and then we get to meet new people as well."
Stiegel Valley Self Storage is eager to assist with all of your U-Haul and self-storage needs. It also 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.
