Corporate Information
Our “Access Model” franchise opportunity is for smaller versions of some of the Non-Traditional locations identified above, such as smaller hotels, universities (or another location at a university), smaller military bases and convention centers, resorts, condominium complexes, timeshares, and the like. We expect to offer the Access Model franchise opportunity only to existing The UPS Store® Center franchisees who already operate a standard The UPS Store® Center at a Traditional location or fullservice Non-Traditional location approximately a 30 minute drive from the proposed location (though we can change these criteria at any time). An Access Model Center is expected to differ from a The UPS Store® Center developed and operated in a larger, standard-size location in size, hours of operation, and scope of products and services offered. Self-Storage – Centers operating within a self-storage facility offer standard retail goods and services to tenants and the public. The self-storage owner may, but is not obligated to, serve as the Center franchisee. A self-storage Center is expected to differ from a Center located at a “Traditional” site in size, hours of operation, and scope of products and services offered. Store in Store – Centers operating within a store (or other locations, such as retail stores, service select hotels, shared workspace or co-working space, professional service offices, and other locations at our discretion) offer standard retail goods and services within a location with customer share and real estate benefits. A store in store Center is expected to differ from a Center located at a “Traditional” site in size, hours of operation, and scope of products and services offered. Hotels – Centers operating within a hotel offer, at a minimum, standard retail goods and services to the hotel guests, hotel staff and non-hotel patrons (if applicable). Additional services offered but not required include guest parcel management, 24-hour computer and print stations, rentals, crating and freighting of convention materials, and drayage. The Lease agreement is signed with the specific hotel. The franchisee operating a Center at a hotel typically will pay the hotel a fixed monthly rent plus a percentage share of its revenue from operations that exceeds a specified revenue threshold (to be negotiated with the hotel, but may range from 5% to 24%). Military Bases – Centers operating on a military installation offer standard retail goods and services to active military, retirees, military spouses and siblings, and government contractors assigned to the base (if applicable). The contract for the Center is unilaterally signed with the Army & Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES), Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) or Marine Corp Community Services (MCCS). A military base Center tends to be similar to a Center located at a “Traditional” site in terms of size, hours of operation, and scope of products and services offered. Universities – Centers operating on or within a public or private university or college campus offer, at a minimum, standard retail goods and services to the students, faculty, staff and the public (if applicable). Additional services offered but not required include Student Mail Room Management, Campus Mail, Parcel Receiving, Move-in/Move-out assistance, Summer Storage Programs, Dolly/Hand-Cart Rental and Campus Print. The Lease agreement for the Center typically is signed with the specific university. Convention Centers – Centers operating within a convention center offer, at a minimum, standard retail goods and services to convention staff, convention attendees and the public (if applicable). Additional services offered are print, rentals, and convention drayage. The Lease agreement or contract for the Center is typically signed with the convention center.

Airport – Centers operating within an airport either before or after the security check-point offer standard goods and services to airport customers and employees. Corporate Office Building – Centers located within an office building or suite offer, at a minimum, standard retail goods and services.

Additional services offered but not required may include parcel handling and mailroom management for members. Other – Any Center that is not classified as being located within a traditional model retail center and does not conform to the Non-Traditional definitions listed above, for example, gas stations and convenience stores.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $25,917 Maximum: $59,084
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $133,470 Maximum: $566,585
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
