NEWS RELEASE
UHAUL CANADA
*************************
THESSALON, Ont. — U-Haul Company (Canada) LLC is pleased to announce that Mankia’s Maple Ridge General Store signed on as a U-Haul® neighbourhood dealer to serve the Thessalon community.
Mankia’s Maple Ridge General Store at 14614 Hwy. 17 will offer essential services like U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, moving supplies and in-store pickup for boxes.
Normal business hours are 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and Sunday. Reserve U-Haul products at this dealer location by calling (705) 842-9756 or visiting this website today.
Mankia’s Maple Ridge General Store owner Dennis Arrand is proud to team with the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage to better meet the demands of Ontario.
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 neighbours. Learn more about the dealer program and how to join by visiting uhaul.com/dealer.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul stores and dealers continue to serve the public during the pandemic recovery. U-Haul products are utilized by First Responders; delivery companies bringing needed supplies to people’s homes; small businesses trying to remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent groups – in addition to the household mover.
In addition to implementing enhanced cleaning protocols, U-Haul is pleased to offer programs that inherently promote social distancing with minimal or no contact with others. U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® allows customers to create an online account and pick up their truck at any hour using only their smartphone with a photo feature and GPS. Trained Live Verify agents support customers online, enabling them to skip the lines and go straight to their truck.
