Commitment to Erie, PA

“This facility at Peach Street and Interstate 90 is one of three new U-Haul stores in Erie,” added Livingood. “We’re investing in this community through our Company-owned facilities, and we invite local small businesses to supplement their income and grow their operations through the U-Haul neighborhood dealer program. We currently have four dealers in Erie helping us meet the community’s moving needs and are looking for more. We’re setting the standard for other companies who are willing to follow our lead.”
