U-Haul Moving & Storage of Palmetto at 7735 U.S. 41 will host a grand-opening celebration to unveil Florida's newest indoor self-storage and retail facility. The public is invited to enjoy food, U-Haul giveaways, and take a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility. The three-story, 75,561-square-foot building includes 1,200 self-storage rooms with high-tech security features and climate-control options at affordable price points that are now available to rent.

The property also houses an 8,705-square-foot U-Box warehouse to store hundreds of portable moving containers, allowing U-Haul to serve more customers and meet increased demand for its storage products in Manatee County. U-Haul began construction of the Palmetto facility in 2022. Customers will have access to truck and trailer rental, boxes and moving supplies, towing equipment, professional hitch installation, U-Box containers and more.
