Pak Mail's site selection team and area developers will utilize demographic and market research to help you identify and select an advantageous site, negotiate a favorable lease, and create a professional retail environment that is consistent with the Pak Mail brand. What initial training and support will I receive?

Prior to opening, all new franchise partners receive two weeks' comprehensive, hands-on training at our International Support Center in Colorado and three days of in-store instruction, included in the franchise fee. After opening, you'll benefit from ongoing seminars, conventions, site visits, and daily access to our intranet.
