Disclosure: Our stores start at $99,500.00. However, you can expect to need an additional $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 for costs outside our scope of work and for operating capital after you open. We do have some funding sources that may be available for up to $50,000.00 to operators with good credit. 

WHAT MAKES A MAIL & PRINT STORE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

• Profits - Profit margins for Mail & Print Stores are one of if not the highest in the retail industry. Why? Because unlike a typical retailer or restaurant that needs to buy a product and sell it, on average 85% of this industry is just service and materials. 
• More Time for You & Family - Unlike most retail businesses that are required to be open 7 days a week,  Mail & Print Stores are typically only open 5.5 days per week.
• You're the Boss - We are NOT a franchise. No franchise fees or royalties EVER! 
• Community - You're not just a Mail & Print Store, you are a Neighborhood Business Center. From making copies for teachers to tee shirts for first responders to receiving social security checks for seniors your services are vital to the community. NOTE: Did you know that Mail & Ship stores are considered an essential business and did not close during the Covid lockdowns.

WHY USE US?

Because we are not just a company that develops stores, we are current and former store owners who understand what it is like to put your savings, passion and life into a business and "WE TRULY CARE".

• You will be working directly with both of the owners throughout the process. We live and breathe the industry.
• We have modern and fun store designs unlike the tired and old stores most of our competitors build.
• In addition to our initial and lifetime support, your package includes I.T. (Information Technology) support for the first year. So if anything in your store (including your Point of Sale machine) has an issue, our support is just a phone call away and if the issue cannot be handled over the phone they will come to your store to address the problem. Our competitors do not offer this. 
• Searching for your location, you will be assisted by us, not by some local broker who is just looking to make a commission. We have negotiated hundreds of leases. Our unparalleled experience in site selection and negotiations comes from 25 years of expertise as both a landlord, landlord representative and retailer.
• Training, you will have hands-on training in one of our high grossing operating stores, not in some random classroom. All training is done side by side with our managing member/store owner. In addition to that, one of the managing members will come to your store the day before opening and stay for opening day, giving you peace of mind when those first customers come rolling in.
• We also have lifetime support. This does not mean calling some 800 numbers, this means having direct access to the company owners where you can be guaranteed speedy if not immediate attention to problem solving. 

Beware: If you are talking to a competitor, ask them, what are you responsible for prior to them building your store. Many companies do not get involved in initial improvements to the store prior to them bringing the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment i.e. painting the store, flooring, knocking down unwanted walls etc..
