"We're excited to expand our self-storage footprint in Hobbs," said Bianca Sotelo-Herrera, U-Haul Company of Southern New Mexico president. "Convenience is key. We want to offer more trusted and affordable self-storage options to our Lea County customers. Taking over an existing self-storage facility is a fast and ecofriendly way to do this."

U-Haul continues to benefit the environment through its shared-use business model. Truck and trailer sharing enables communities to share moving equipment so that families and individuals don't need to own large-capacity vehicles to transfer belongings. Sustainability initiatives like U-Haul Adaptive Reuse (the preserving and repurposing of existing buildings for new stores), truck modifications to improve fuel economy, and plastic Ready-To-Go Boxes^® that are shared hundreds of times before being recycled are among the many ways U-Haul promotes green business. U-Box Load Share, the Company's latest sustainability program, was just named the 2023 Best in Biz gold winner for the Most Environmentally Friendly Service of the Year.
