Retail franchises tend to have a higher start-up cost due to the location of business operations, which can often be in high-street positions. However, location is key. You must select the best position for your business to attract the highest number of customers. The more support you get from your franchisor to do this, the better start your new business will have.

With our in-depth knowledge of the market, business opportunities and store characteristics, we will help you find the right location for your new Mail Boxes Etc. store. Together we’ll be looking for a site that puts you right in the heart of your local business community and is well placed to attract passers- by too. Once the perfect store has been found, we’ll help you to negotiate the business terms of your lease and advise on fitting out the premises.

Most companies rely on repeat business for their income and in retail, it is no different. To ensure the best chance of repeat business, it helps if your chosen retail franchise appeals to more than one market and offers more than just one product or service.

Mail Boxes Etc. is a one-stop concept that offers a mix of different services to help meet people’s everyday needs. Our customers range from members of the general public to small businesses, students, overseas visitors and the art and antiques sector. They turn to us because we are there on the high street, ready and waiting to provide them with help, expertise and face-to-face customer care for a truly personal service.
