The Worm has turned for Michael Eich, a business owner in the Village of Oak Creek.

He is shutting down his short-lived, but successful, U-Haul rental business after Yavapai County found that it violated zoning laws.

As a result, Eich said he is losing significant revenue and has had to lay off one employee and cut another’s hours.

He started leasing moving trucks and equipment in mid-January as a side business to The Worm Book & Music Store that he operates in the Oak Creek Factory Outlets mall.

“I will continue to be a U-Haul dealer in that I’ll be selling moving supplies like boxes, packing material, tape, peanuts,” he said. “And I can help customers make equipment reservations with other dealers.”
