DES MOINES, Iowa, April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® recently acquired the former CubeSmart® Self Storage facility at 2590 Hubbell Ave. to better meet the moving and self-storage demands of Des Moines residents.
U-Haul began serving customers here on Feb. 6 and is now offering self-storage with extended hours access. The 8.98-acre property includes 688 indoor climate-controlled storage units.
"Expanding our footprint in Des Moines is important. The growing need for U-Haul self-storage in this community requires us to expand," said Randy Bowlby, U-Haul Company of Western Iowa president. "This location is right across the street from our existing Hubbell Avenue facility and gives us the ability to serve more customers."
The new U-Haul facility is being operated and overseen by U-Haul Moving & Storage of East Side at 2535 Hubbell Ave. Contact U-Haul at (515) 336-6694 for storage inquiries at either facility. Hours of operation at the anchor store are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

U-Haul dealers in and around Des Moines continue to be available to serve DIY movers. U-Haul has partnered with independent dealers to provide communities with accessible mobility since 1945. During these challenging times, more than 21,000 small businesses across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income by partnering with U-Haul. When customers rent from their local U-Haul dealers, they are directly supporting small businesses in their community. Because there is no financial investment from dealers, they are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses with enough lot space to park U-Haul equipment and enough time to welcome more customers while meeting the mobility needs of their neighbors.
