Self-move products are available;
climate-controlled storage and RV/boat parking is coming
soon
LIVINGSTON, Texas , June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® opens for
business today at the former Lake Livingston Outlet Mall after its
June 12 acquisition of the 7.5-acre
property at 440 Highway 59 Loop S.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Lake Livingston will be the
Company's first store in Livingston. The newest U-Haul center in
Texas is located off Highway 59
less than 20 miles from Lake Livingston, a recreation haven for
boating, fishing and wildlife.
Services available immediately include moving truck
rentals, trailers, towing devices, boxes and moving supplies,
U-Box portable storage containers, and more. Download the U-Haul
app or contact the store at (936) 223-3584.
U-Haul Company's Adaptive Reuse program will be implemented to
repurpose the property and give it new life. This ecofriendly
strategy for opening new stores reduces emissions, eliminates
blight and offers a faster route to providing the quality storage
products and self-move services U-Haul customers expect.
Once renovations are done, U-Haul of Lake Livingston will offer
indoor climate-controlled storage, drive-up storage, and
sustainable truck box storage. There will be at least 500 rentable
storage units at affordable price points.
Plans also call for RV and boat storage, professional hitch
installation, propane, a deluxe showroom featuring a full line of
retail products, and a warehouse for U-Box portable moving and
storage containers. Parking spaces for RV and boat storage should
be available for rent by the end of 2024.
"We're very excited to invest in Livingston and repurpose the outlet mall to
meet growing demand for our services here," said Robert Abidin, U-Haul Company of Northeast Houston president said. "This is a
great location where we can cater to the recreational needs of
residents who enjoy the benefits of Lake Livingston, while still
providing our traditional customer with trusted U-Haul mobility and
storage solutions."
Abidin plans to hire up to 12 Team Members to staff the store.
U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in
Livingston. U-Haul, honored as a
Best for Vets employer by The Military Times, actively recruits
veterans and gives them preference in the hiring process. Find

Acquisition of the former Lake Livingston Outlet Mall was driven
by U-Haul Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports
infill developments to help local communities lower their carbon
footprint. The 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.
U-Haul of Lake Livingston adds to a network of more than 190
Company stores currently operating in Texas, which was recently named the No. 1
growth state on the U-Haul Growth Index for the sixth time in
the last eight years.
