We have 661 units, also box/packaging sales, and we are the #1 U-Haul dealer in the Orlando and surrounding area.

My husband and I run it Tues-Saturday 9-6. We have one assistant relief manager, she works with us on Saturday 9-6, and handles it herself on Sunday 9-2 and Monday 9-6.

We are busiest on Saturday, particularly with U-Haul, while the truck rentals usually are slow to non-existent on Sunday and Monday, usually just checking them in.

I run the office, and my husband does the off-site marketing, post office trips to mail certified auction lien letters, bank deposits, "shopping", and he does the cleaning and maintenance including painting, plumbing, electrical, etc. the only thing he doesn't do is grass cutting and HVAC. He also shows storage units when he is here.

Our last facility had 550 units, this one has 661 and it doesn't "feel" any bigger, I would guess we could go well over a 1000 units without adding personnel, though much larger then that, I would add a 2nd person to help on our days off, particularly at the end/beginning of the month.
