AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U-Haul® is operating at 1520 V. Odom Blvd., where its new Akron Repair Shop is now servicing regional moving and storage equipment.

The 55,000-square-foot facility replaces the Company’s former repair shop at 1570 V. Odom Blvd., a space that is being repurposed to serve the needs of its U-Haul Moving & Storage of Akron store.
