Prominent Franchisor Continues to Create and Support Small
Business Opportunities
SAN
DIEGO, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Annex Brands,
Inc. has opened 75+ new franchise locations and experienced
120+ resales since the beginning of 2021, with many resale
locations passing ownership to younger generations and former
managers. In honor of National Small Business Month, it's
noteworthy that Annex Brands' network of 850+ franchise locations
continues to make it one of the leading packing and shipping
franchisors, supporting small business opportunity and growth in
local communities across the country.
"When my wife and I looked into different franchise options
seventeen years ago, we knew PostalAnnex would be a good fit," said
Tony Casolari, former PostalAnnex
franchisee. "We sustained business throughout the 2008 recession
and flourished on the other side of it, thanks to the services we
provide. I'm now happy to pass this business to my former manager—I
know I can come back in five years and the place will be running
even better than when I was the owner."
From 2021 to 2023, the U.S. Small Business Administration saw a
46% increase in applications for new businesses—higher than the
average of the prior four years combined. Given the company's
growth in recent years, Annex Brands is proud to offer a small
business opportunity that not only empowers and supports its
owners, but provides essential and adaptable services with more
options for local communities.
"The PostalAnnex franchise model is a good one; it gives you the
structure and tools necessary to create a successful business, but
also the freedom to own and operate your own business," Casolari
said.

commercial business service brands: PostalAnnex, Pak Mail, AIM Mail Centers, Parcel Plus,
