The U-Haul Co. of Eastern Quebec recently opened U-Haul Moving and Storage of Lachine in Quebec, Canada. Built in 1972, the property at 2100 Norman St. is the former home of Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods Inc., a company that packaged and sold snack foods. It encompasses 214,999 square feet of storage space on 16 acres. The facility currently only offers truck, trailer and U-Box pod rentals, but self-storage and a showroom will be added in the future.

“We are excited to offer U-Haul products and services to the people southwest of Montreal," said Joe Pierfelice, general manager of the U-Haul Co. of Eastern Quebec. "This is a very large facility, and when construction is complete, it will offer many self-storage solutions and size options to residents."

The opening of the Lachine store is being driven by U-Haul’s corporate sustainability initiatives, which support infill development to help local communities lower their carbon footprint, according to a company press release. U-Haul’s adaptive reuse of existing buildings eliminates the amount of energy and resources required for new-construction materials and helps local cities diminish their unwanted inventory of unused buildings, U-Haul officials said.

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.
