Buy a PostalAnnex+ Franchise

PostalAnnex+ is a retail shipping and business-services franchise serving consumers, home-based entrepreneurs and small businesses. Stores handle small-package shipping through UPS, FedEx and USPS, plus freight, private mailbox rental, copying and printing, notary, faxing, business cards and stationery, key cutting, packaging and office supplies under one roof.

The brand is the flagship of Annex Brands, Inc., a San Diego-based franchisor founded in 1985 by Jack Lentz and later expanded into a multi-brand group that also includes Pak Mail, AIM Mail Center, Parcel Plus, Sunshine Pack & Ship, Navis Pack & Ship and Handle With Care Packaging Store. PostalAnnex+ runs close to 300 locations, part of an Annex Brands network of around 800 units across the US, Canada and Mexico.

Units are territory-based, brick-and-mortar service centers typically staffed by two to 12 employees and open during normal business hours. The format is offered as standalone retail stores, express units inside other businesses, and conversions of existing independent outlets. Multiple service lines give each location several revenue streams rather than a single reliance on shipping.

Why buy a PostalAnnex+ Franchise?

PostalAnnex+ sits in an essential, service-led category that has proved resilient across economic cycles, supported by steady consumer and small-business demand for shipping, mailbox and office services. Buying a PostalAnnex+ franchise means entering an established system with decades of operating history and the backing of a multi-brand franchisor.

The multi-service format spreads revenue across shipping, printing, mailbox rentals and other office services, reducing reliance on any single line. Backing from Annex Brands brings carrier relationships, co-op marketing funds, award-winning advertising talent and a proprietary franchisee intranet, while the primarily service-based model keeps fit-out lighter than many retail concepts.

PostalAnnex+ – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Annex Brands gives PostalAnnex+ owners a structured initial program of roughly 72 hours of classroom and 32 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support includes co-op marketing funds, award-winning advertising expertise, a proprietary franchisee intranet for operations and knowledge-sharing, and access to head-office help around the clock. Buyers of an existing PostalAnnex+ should confirm what transfer training and intranet access the franchisor provides to incoming owners and any retained staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, customer-focused operators comfortable running a fast-paced retail counter with several service lines and a small team of two to 12 staff. Strong organization, multitasking and local relationship-building matter more than prior industry experience, since training covers shipping rules, systems and operations. It fits owner-operators who enjoy day-to-day retail service, repeat-customer relationships and managing a compact business during normal hours.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    PostalAnnex+ has earned recognition for its marketing, including Emmy awards for its television commercials and Silver Microphone awards for its radio advertising, reflecting the in-house creative support offered to franchisees. Annex Brands also holds a five-star VetFran rating from the International Franchise Association for its support of veteran franchisees. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific store's local reviews, referral sources and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    PostalAnnex+ operates in the US retail shipping and business-services category, underpinned by the broader US couriers and local delivery industry, worth roughly $195 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld). Sustained e-commerce growth keeps consumer demand strong for package drop-off, returns processing and mailbox rental, while small and home-based businesses rely on local centers for printing, notary and office support. For resale buyers, demand at a specific store depends on local population, e-commerce activity and nearby competition.
