U-Haul Moving & Storage of Edsall Road in Alexandria permanently closed its doors on June 28 as the property owner prepares to redevelop the site. The closure, which affects the location at 6295 Edsall Road, Plaza 500, Suite 200, resulted in the termination of eight team members. U-Haul had been leasing the property since September 2023.

The decision to shutter the facility stems from the landlord's redevelopment plans, a factor cited among potential reasons for store closures that also include strategic shifts and demographic changes. Customers who utilized the Edsall Road center for self-storage, truck rentals, and other services are directed to the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Springfield at 5285 Port Royal Road. This alternative location is situated five miles west of the closed store, near the Interstate 495 loop and Braddock Road.

U-Haul indicated that other centers and neighborhood dealers remain operational in the area to meet customer demand. The company continues to evaluate its network for growth opportunities while occasionally closing or relocating services based on long-term strategic objectives, site conditions, and external factors.
