PHOTO: Alpena UPS Store sells franchise
News Photo by Torianna Marasco The UPS Store on Ripley Boulevard is seen on Thursday with signs in the window saying the franchise is for sale and that the location is closing soon. According to a note provided by the store, the UPS Store is a franchise opportunity in a 20-year established business center located in a high-traffic area. The note encourages members in the community to open a franchise and join the largest retail shipping, postal, and business services franchise in the country that has been ranked number one in the Postal and Business Center category for over 30 years. It is unknown when the store will officially close, as employees at the store on Thursday could not provide further information and The News could not reach a corporate spokesperson. Members of the community have expressed worry as many rely on the store for shipping needs, Amazon returns, printing, and more.
