The UPS Store is the global leader in its market.  It has over 5900 stores around the world in 75 countries and territories.  The network revenues for the company exceed 1.8 billion each year.  This type of global reach allows the company to offer franchise opportunities with a high rate of success.

The training for a new franchise of The UPS Store is a multi phased learning program.  It focuses on developing the business, management, technical aspects, and the diagnostic skills necessary to grow as a franchise of The UPS Store.  The training includes an eight day course in the corporate office in San Diego, CA.  Training also includes a two week long in store training to help implement what is being learned in the training sessions.

Once training is complete, the corporate support does not stop.  The company also offers ongoing support from an experienced team of support personnel to help make the most of the time and effort being put out.  This support includes day to day assistance with operations, local marketing, and network support.  The support team will be available every step of the way for each franchise.

The franchise fee for first time locations is $29,950.  For any franchise looking to expand to a second location there is a discounted fee of $19,950.  When all is said and done, a new The UPS Store location will be expected to cost between $170,766 and $279,375.  In addition, The UPS Store receives 5% Royalty on all gross commissions excluding allowable exclusions.  There is also a 1% marketing fee and 2.5% national advertising fee.  With these fees the franchise will be given an exclusive territory that no other traditional The UPS Store location will be placed in.

In addition, the company furnishes each franchise with a proven floor plan as well as a fixture system that is adaptable to any site.  The company is also continually looking to improve upon the processes that keep the franchises running.  This includes operational updates as well and technological upgrades.  The company spends about $1 billion each year on information technology, trying to upgrade systems for the franchises as well as the customers.  These upgrades cost the franchises nothing and improve productivity in most cases.
