U-Haul Co. of Boston has purchased the Stor/Gard Self Storage facility at 34 Broadway in Malden, Mass., and will rebrand it as U-Haul Moving and Storage of Everett Route 99. The four-story masonry building is comprised of 58,240 square feet in 323 interior and 22 exterior units, with 24-hour, drive-up access.

The facility will offer climate-controlled space as well as vehicle, boat and RV storage, U-Haul officials said in a press release. The company will also offer U-Box pods and warehousing in the future. Minor work on the building is being completed while the facility is open for business, company officials said.

"We are excited to bring the U-Haul name to this community,” said Matthew Pepin, marketing company president of U-Haul Co. of Boston. “We know our customers will appreciate the fact that they can now store at U-Haul as well as get our quality retail products and rent trucks and trailers."

Stor/Gard continues to operate self-storage facilities in Northboro and Walpole, Mass.

Established in 1945, U-Haul International Inc. has more than 40 million square feet of storage space at more than 1,000 owned and managed facilities throughout North America.
