Founding in 1945, U-Haul is the # 1 choice of do-it-yourself movers with its service network having more than 21,000 locations in all 50 states in the US and 10 provinces in Canada. U-Haul continues to expand its network with the aim of providing more easy to use and modern moving and storage service while reducing the carbon footprint.

One of the basic steps of this environmental policy is to find empty buildings that are suitable for adaptive reuse and to renovate these buildings to turn them into modern service centers. In this way, it is possible to prevent the usage of extra electrical energy for the construction of new buildings and avoiding the carbon emission will be caused by the production of construction materials. Moreover, at the same time, the development of unused buildings into new service centers also contributes to the city economy.

U-Haul will transform the former Toys R Us building acquired in Annapolis into a brand new retail and self-storage facility, and the renewal process is scheduled to be completed in 2020.

With climate-controlled rooms, a facility equipped with technological security systems, and affordable price policy, this former Toys R Us building in Annapolis will be a state-of-the-art moving and self-storage facility.

We know the importance of recycling and re-use of a pet bottle to protect nature, and we take care of it as individuals. Our cities can be much more beautiful thanks to the companies that are aware of the importance of redesigning unused buildings. Programs such as U-Haul Corporate Sustainability initiative contribute to the protection of nature and to make cities more livable.
