Food Way Mart Adds U-Haul Products & Services

Joins network of more than 15,000 independent dealers across North America
LABELLE, Fla. -- Safe Yausif, owner of Food Way Mart in LaBelle, Fla., recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the convenience store he has been operating since February 2011.

Families needing moving services now will have increased convenience. Food Way Mart can now offer 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.

Food Way Mart also will offer [image-nocss] sales items to protect its customers' belongings and 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.

"Our store is convenient to all the customers that come in for U-Haul or just to shop," Yausif said. "Business is hard and seasonal for both and this location is mainstream."

"U-Haul is proud to be partnering with a quality independent business such as Food Way Mart," said Dave Thompson, president of U-Haul Co. of Western Florida. "Safe 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."

U-Haul maintain one of the largest rental fleet in the do-it-yourself moving industry 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.
