BJ's Market Adds U-Haul

Maine convenience store offering moving products, services

GLENBURN, Maine -- William and Marie Saucier, owners of BJ's Market in Glenburn, Maine, have recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the convenience store they have been operating since 1998.

Families needing moving services now will have increased convenience. BJ's Market 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.

BJ's Market also [image-nocss] will offer 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.

"Years ago we had thought about joining the U-Haul team, and when we were approached by U-Haul Co. we said yes. U-Haul brings more value to my primary business and offers more to the consumers in this community," the Sauciers said.

"U-Haul is proud to be partnering with a quality independent business such as BJ's Market," said Jeffery Vaine, president of U-Haul Co. of New Hampshire & Maine, Manchester, N.H. "William and Marie are 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 served the do-it-yourself mover, with a network of more than 16,300 locations in all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. U-Haul customers' patronage has enabled the company to maintain a major rental fleet for 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. U-Haul is also the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket industry. And the company supplies alternative-fuel for vehicles and backyard barbecues as one of the nation's largest retailers of propane.
