Located at 2028 Lee Road 166, The Corner Store will offer essential services like U-Haul trucks and support rental items.

U-Haul has teamed with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-it-yourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community.
Local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises, as there are no financial investments required to be a neighborhood dealer. These small businesses have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.
