U-Haul Dealer Attracts Wisconsin-Eau Claire Students with U-Box

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Linings of Eau Claire LLC is offering college students a convenient and affordable way to store their belongings between or during semesters.

Linings of Eau Claire, a new U-Haul neighborhood dealer, is serving University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students with easy access to do-it-yourself storage through U-Box containers.

With 257 cubic feet of space and one-ton capacity, U-Box containers are delivered to and picked up at your door, can be packed on your timeframe and are stored in a secure warehouse until you are ready to retrieve your belongings. U-Box containers can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. or Canada and stored for as little as a few weeks to a few years.

Reserve U-Box containers at Linings of Eau Claire by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Ubox-containers-near-Eau-Claire-WI or calling (715) 834-4435 today.

Located at S4800 Karissa Drive, Linings of Eau Claire is open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-noon Saturday. It is one of two U-Box carriers in the city and also has U-Haul trucks and accessory items on its lot.

Linings of Eau Claire opened in 1997. The company name changed four years ago and co-owner Peter Bergee recently considered the growth potential for his business by teaming with U-Haul, the leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage.

Bergee and his partner Josh Dixon have focused their efforts on promoting U-Box to Eau Claire because of the many students in the area and their need to keep their belongings safe and secure.

"I think U-Box is unique," Bergee said. "There is no storage on campus."

Linings of Eau Claire is situated off Highway 37, which runs into Highway 12 and is near the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The proximity to the university is the primary reason why Bergee added U-Box to his line of U-Haul products.

Home to the Blugold, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire attracts students from across the U.S. The constant influx of new and returning students creates a need for self-storage and moving supplies, and now Linings of Eau Claire is equipped to meet that need.

Linings of Eau Claire 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. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
