We will offer you an area franchise which grants you the right and obligation to market the The UPS Store franchise opportunity and provide support to franchised The UPS Store shipping, packaging, business, and communication retail service centers located in your Territory. The Area Franchise Agreement will also grant you the right to use the Proprietary Marks and System solely with your area franchise business. However, we retain the discretion to determine whether or not to offer and sell individual franchises within your Territory or in any other jurisdiction or territory. We need not continue to or continuously offer and sell individual franchises in your Territory, we make no representations, warranties, or promises that we will do so, and we make no representations, warranties, or promises that our ability, right or authority to offer or sell franchises in your Territory or any other jurisdiction or territory will not be interrupted for any period of time. We will not be liable to you if we discontinue offering or selling individual franchises or any particular product or service in your Territory for any reason. You must own and operate at least one individual Center franchise (“Center” or “Training Center”) within your Territory unless you enter into and maintain an agreement with a third party The UPS Store franchisee, or an employee of an individual The UPS Store franchisee, who operates a Center in your Territory to perform your training obligations at that Center and that Center conforms to TUPSS’ then current standards and specifications for image, equipment, technology, and other operating requirements (a “Certified Training Center”). (However, if you are a party to another area franchise agreement with TUPSS for another territory that is contiguous to the Territory granted under the Area Franchise Agreement you are signing after receiving this disclosure document, you may satisfy your Training Center or Certified Training Center requirements if that Center is located within the contiguous territory.) You must also maintain a franchise sales office, which may be located inside your Center. The sales office is generally 150 to 500 square feet.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $21,071 Maximum: $60,804
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: $66,535 Maximum: $448,918
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.
