Business Overview:
Established in 1987 in the Tampa Bay area this pack n ship/mailbox store is independently owned providing convenient and value-added business services to individuals and the small-office/home-office market in the area. The business specializes in pack n ship, bill payments of all kinds including utilities, Visa and Master Card payments, black and white/color copies, lottery, faxes, and eBay services. The business also sells office products, stationary and gift items. Mail box access is available 24/7. The Store is located in heavily populated area on a major highway in a prime shopping area with high traffic volume. Currently the store is only open for 2 to 3 hours per day limiting the true earnings and income capacity of the store. The business relies on building its customer base through its bill payment services. The store remains profitable on a smaller scale with its current operational time disadvantage. A new owner increasing store hours, developing a pro-active marketing plan, increasing merchandising options, and adding other services such as Notary, Check Cashing, and Money Orders could have the opportunity to realize the full potential and earnings power of the store. This small-business has a great amount of upside possibilities for the right buyer who wants to gain maximum value from a small business investment.

Market Competition and Expansion:
The store has advertised in local newspaper and sometimes uses flyers. Recently the store has relied on repeat customers and utility, Visa, Master Card, and other bill payment services for its customer base.
Increasing store hours, adding additional services could have a dramatic affect on sales volume. Announcing the changes with customer incentives through the development of a pro-active advertising campaign that targets the surrounding residential neighborhoods and local area businesses could generate earnings growth realizing the actual sales capacity of the store.
Development of a web-site for the store could raise awareness through local internet users increasing customer volume.
