What You Get—Training and Support
Before opening a Pak Mail, Pak Mail’s site selection team and area developers utilize demographic and market research to help franchisees identify and select an advantageous site, negotiate a favorable lease and create a professional retail environment that is consistent with the Pak Mail brand. All new franchisees receive two weeks of comprehensive, hands-on training at its International Support Center in Colorado as well as three days of in-store instruction, all included in the franchise fee.
After opening, franchisees benefit from ongoing seminars, conventions, site visits and daily access to our intranet. Pak Mail also supports the growth and management of its franchisees with strategic marketing materials and business operations assistance.

Pak Mail grants protected territories.
