Grand Opening: U-Haul of Rossford Offers Climate-Controlled Storage Next to I-75

Facility will create 10 jobs and provide a price lock on self-storage rentals

ROSSFORD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new U-Haul^® retail, moving and storage facility is now serving the Rossford community at 10212 Sportsman Drive while offering the Company’s 1-Year Price Lock on self-storage rentals.

Rossford Mayor Neil MacKinnon III participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 28.

The grand opening marked the completion of the first 431 climate-controlled self-storage rooms available to rent at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Rossford. Do-it-yourself movers have had access to trucks and trailers since December.

When the build-out is completed, there will be 1,067 storage units with heated and climate-controlled options designed to protect tenants’ belongings during Northwest Ohio’s four distinct seasons.

U-Haul of Rossford sits on nine acres next to Interstate 75 and one mile from I-90, offering easy access to residents and businesses.

“We’re pleased to provide the community with clean, dry and secure storage along with all of the reliable U-Haul moving products that people trust in one convenient location,” said Chris Arndt, U-Haul Company of NW Ohio president. “U-Haul is excited to be in Rossford. We appreciate the city’s work, support and cooperation in making this happen.”

Arndt was joined at the grand opening by Desiree Johnson, general manager of the Rossford store, and Josh Stevens, U-Haul traffic control manager.

This is the first U-Haul-owned and -operated center in Rossford. The Company has nine stores in neighboring Toledo.

U-Haul 1-Year Price Lock

Storage tenants who want cost assurance without surprise rent increases, junk fees and deposits should inquire ask about the U-Haul 1-Year Price Lock. While other national operators face rising scrutiny for deceptive introductory rates followed by recurring price hikes and hidden fees, U-Haul is recommitting to its customers with fixed-rate storage and the certainty of no increases for at least a year.
