U-Haul® is unveiling plans to expand self-storage options in
Youngstown with the acquisition of the historic Ward Bakery
building at 1024 Mahoning Ave.
The 101-year-old building, now U-Haul Storage of Youngstown, was
purchased July 22. It will be operated remotely by parent store
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Youngstown, just across the
street.
Renovations are scheduled to be completed by spring 2025.
U-Haul Company’s Adaptive Reuse program will be implemented to
refurbish the property while constructing up to 800
climate-controlled storage units with high-end security features.
The building’s exterior will be preserved to maintain as much of
the original character as possible.
This is the second U-Haul adaptive reuse project in the city.
The former Isaly’s Dairy plant is now U-Haul Moving &
Storage of Youngstown.
“We are honored to preserve a second piece of Youngstown’s past
while giving it a new purpose,” stated Alissa Nider, U-Haul Company
of Akron president. “Our customers needed more self-storage
options, so we are thrilled to provide another Adaptive Reuse
property that can accommodate the growth we are seeing in northeast
Ohio.”
To secure self-storage at this and other facilities, download
the U-Haul app or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
Nider intends to hire up to six Team Members to support the new
store. U-Haul will look to hire locally to promote job growth in
the Youngstown community. 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 U-Haul careers at

Acquisition of the Ward Bakery 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.
