POSTNET FRANCHISE
Now is a great time to open a PostNet
PostNet has evolved from a humble pack-and-ship business into a forward-thinking printing, marketing, and shipping franchise that specializes in providing professional, business-enhancing solutions to the 28 million small businesses in the United States and the millions more around the globe. Since we began franchising in 1993, our brand has grown to nearly 660 locations across nine countries, close to 250 of which are in the United States. Over two decades after we launched our proven business model, PostNet is even stronger.
In 2017, PostNet became part of the global family of MBE Worldwide*. The two companies have an extensive reach with 2,600 locations in 40 countries around the world. PostNet's visionary leadership team is committed to innovation through technology. Our culture ensures our franchise owners are profitable and supported every step in their journey in becoming successful small business owners in their communities.
“PostNet thrives on our ability to connect with our customers in a far more personal way than our competition,” says Brian Spindel, President, and COO of PostNet. “We’ve invested significantly in training and technology to help our franchisees to drive business to their centers, and more importantly, build meaningful and lasting relationships with their customers. Our top-performing franchisees are those who are passionate about actively networking with local small businesses, and posses the outgoing personality needed to make their PostNet locations a meaningful part of their communities.”
*MBE Worldwide is the owner of the Mail Boxes Etc. brand and business concept for the entire world except for the US and Canada.

PostNet franchise is a low-cost investment opportunity with potential for high returns
PostNet is an affordable investment opportunity with a proven business model that offers the potential for high returns. The total investment necessary to begin operating a PostNet franchise ranges from $169,767 to $217,275. PostNet is a substantially more affordable investment than several of our competitors, and our rapid buildout time allows our franchise owners the opportunity to hasten their return on investment. Once a site is selected, a new PostNet can be open in six to eight weeks. Our Online Print Center platform allows new franchise owners to begin selling PostNet services and earning a profit from the moment an address is selected for a new PostNet store — potentially quickening the return on investment even further and bringing in additional revenue beyond the sales made during regular business hours.

They want to taste small business ownership for themselves, to make their schedule and take control of their own time. In many cases, it could be a career change, and retirees also find success with the PostNet franchise.” - Kevin Center, PostNet franchise owner in Atlanta, Georgia
“PostNet was an opportunity for me to work for myself and to provide a better life for my family. It also gave me an opportunity to work alongside my wife. When we opened, we wanted to break even in 18 months, and we were able to reach our goal a whole lot sooner. We've opened our third center, and we feel confident that we can open as many stores as we like as long as we nurture good leadership."- Greg Howard, PostNet franchise owner in Houston, Texas
