SPRINGFIELD — U-Haul Co. of Massachusetts and Ohio Inc. announced that Devon Self Storage Springfield signed on as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer to serve the Springfield community. Devon Self Storage Springfield, located at 2155 East Columbus Ave. and owned by Chuck Gamm, will offer essential services like U-Haul trucks and moving supplies.

U-Haul has teamed with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-it-yourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community.

Because no financial investment is required to be a dealer, these local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises; they are simply small businesses that have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.
