Owning a Franchise

It’s All About The System

Owning a The UPS Store franchise is a lot different than building a new business from scratch. You are starting with an engine that has already been successfully built, an already established system. You are starting your foray small business ownership with an already well‐established brand. From the beginning, and throughout your franchising journey, you have the support of an experienced Home Office and In‐Field team, who are invested in your success. In your franchisee family, you are surrounded by a community of like‐minded business owners. At the same time, you’re an independent business owner. You can hire your own staff, make your own schedule, and make a lot of decisions to help build your business into a successful one. You are in business for yourself, but certainly not by yourself.
