Bentonville, Ark., retailer becomes part of DIY moving dealer network

BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- Kamaldeep Singh, owner of Airport Plaza in Bentonville, Ark., recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the convenience store and gas station he has been operating since 2007.

Airport Plaza now offers its customers a variety of moving equipment and supplies designed specifically for moving household furnishings, including moving vans, open trailers, closed trailers, furniture pads, appliance dollies, furniture dollies, tow dollies and auto transports.

The store also will offer sales items to protect their customers' belongings and [image-nocss] make moving easier, such as heavy-duty boxes, which are made of up to 90% recycled content and are available in a variety of sizes.

Airport Plaza also has a Take a Box/Leave a Box display which enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allow other customers to take them as needed for free.

"It was due to a friend's suggestion that I became part of the U-Haul dealer network," Singh said.

"U-Haul is proud to be partnering with a quality independent business such as Airport Plaza," exclaimed Jim Smith, president, U-Haul Co. of Tulsa. "Kamaldeep is a great example of the type of successful business relationship U-Haul has established in order to build and maintain a strong network of more than 15,000 independent dealers across North America."

Since 1945, U-Haul has been a choice for the do-it-yourself mover, with a network of more than 16,300 locations in all 50 States and 10 Canadian provinces. It maintains a rental fleet with approximately 104,000 trucks, 80,000 trailers and 36,000 towing devices. U-Haul offers more than 406,000 rooms and 36 million square feet of storage space at nearly 1,100 owned and managed facilities throughout North America. The company also supplies alternative fuel for vehicles and backyard barbecues as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.
