What to know about The UPS Store Traditional franchise?
UPS Stores offers franchises for centers featuring business and communication services to be operated at Traditional locations. The UPS Store Traditional is a franchise concept in the Business Services industry.
UPS Store Background
The UPS Store was originally founded as Mail Boxes Etc. – which is still around today as a completely separate entity – in 1980 by Gerald Aul, Pat Senn, and Robert Diaz in Carlsbad, California. Aul, Senn, and Diaz started Mail Boxes Etc. to provide consumers with an alternative to the U.S. Post Office. Over the next few decades, Mail Boxes Etc. continued to grow and in 2001, UPS acquired Mail Boxes Etc., Inc.
In 2003, UPS rebranded around 3,000 Mail Boxes Etc. stores. Over the next year, UPS sold more than 500 new The UPS Store franchise locations in the United States. Today, The UPS Store has become the world’s largest franchisor of retail shipping, postal, printing, and business service centers. There are UPS Store locations all across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
