Since its origins as Mail Boxes, Etc., The UPS Store, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, has remained true to its roots. Recently, for example, it helped residents remain connected amid the L.A. wildfires. As a result, selected UPS Store locations in Southern California are now offering free faxing, scanning and computer time rental through April 30, 2025 (products and services vary by location). More information is available HERE.
Meanwhile, through Feb. 19, small business owners can enter The UPS Store Small Biz Challenge for the opportunity to win a share of a total prize pool of $35,000, a feature in Inc. magazine and a trip to compete in the live event in Austin, Texas this April. Since 2019, The UPS Store Small Biz Challenge has recognized and empowered aspiring small businesses through mentorship, networking opportunities and skills-based challenges. Learn more HERE.
Noteworthy too is that entrepreneur Magazine has ranked The UPS Store No. 6 on its 2025 Franchise 500 list, one of the most prestigious industry recognitions for franchise organizations.
