the difficulty in navigating and accessing the multiple platforms in UPS the security walls and multiple password changes make it too time consuming to access some of the platforms QRG's do not always get you to where you need to go information
YesNeutralNeutraloverall I'm happy to be a owner and look to expand to more stores. but there are things that need to be fixed and things that could be done to help owners.
the other owners are great, my fom is great (chuck) lots of growth options.
that UPS under cuts its store by giving better shipping prices to everyone else but its own stores. Also that we are charged a shipping invoice every week but then are charged our franchise fee on the total we make even though 40% of what we made that week is already being payed out in the weekly shipping invoice.

overall good franchise brand and good business model.
initial acquisition process and exit process is too length 8-12 months. not a good for exit strategy
YesPositiveApprovesMediocre at best
It has been in business for a long time
Very complicated and margins are low for what it is.
NoNegativeDisapprovesI would be very surprised if anyone actually read this.
I am a new owner and I really like the concept. Profitability is really good.
Home office. I have owned other franchises. I have bought and sold other franchise stores. I have worked for large corporations. I have 30 years of management/ownership experience. The home office at TUPSS is totally disconnected in what we do in the field. I spent the first month of ownerships saying to myself daily, " it doesn't have to be this complicated".
