Press Release from U-Haul: LIMA, Ohio (Jan. 30, 2025) — The U-Haul® store at 1608 Elida Road, which had been a full-service facility since 1978, has ceased most services to become a remote self-storage facility.
A major car accident occurred this afternoon involving several cars on North Grubb and Elida roads. Both the American Township Fire Department and the American Township Police Department were accompanied by the Ohio State Highway Patrol to sort out any damages on the scene. Few details were provided as authorities investigate the accident, but it is known that three people had to be transported to a nearby hospital.
It once was a busy service station with cars lining up to get the cheapest gas in town but has since become a boarded-up eyesore. The Swifty gas station on Elida Road came down Tuesday. American Township put a demolition order on the structure. For the first time, the Allen County Land Bank is working under a township demo order to remove the structure and hopefully get the site ready for development in the future. The property is currently in the foreclosure process, and it has taken some time to get to demo day, which is making a difference.
