U-Haul Reveals Plans for Great Falls Store near Malmstrom AFB

GREAT FALLS, Mont., Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® will soon be showcasing a modern self-storage facility in Great Falls with the recent acquisition of the former Agri-Village Shopping Center at 4800 10^th Ave.

U-Haul acquired the 102,739-square-foot building on July 27. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Great Falls is currently serving customers out of a temporary showroom and offering truck and trailer sharing and a full line of moving supplies.

Adaptive reuse of the property will render climate-controlled indoor self-storage units with high-tech security features at affordable price points. There will also be towing equipment and professional hitch installation, U-Box portable moving and storage containers, and more on the 12.3-acre lot.

Contact U-Haul Moving & Storage of Great Falls at (406) 727-0087 or stop by to see our progress. Hours of operation are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

"Our city officials and neighbors have been very supportive," stated Terry Schaub, U-Haul Company of Montana president. "The Agri-Village Shopping Center is well known. Our team is eager to provide the quality self-storage this community needs and to serve Great Falls, including our distinguished military members at Malmstrom Air Force Base."

The recent acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to help local communities lower their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and resources required for new-building materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.

"Large properties like this have huge potential, but have a tendency to remain dark and become eyesores," Schaub said. "We are excited to preserve and improve this building, and be a strong member of this community for years to come."

U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in Great Falls. Schaub expects to maintain a staff of eight or more Team Members when the facility is fully operational. U-Haul always encourages local contractors to bid on renovation work.
