The UPS Store locations are typically found in inline retail centers or end-cap units of neighborhood plazas, with occasional standalone pad sites. Leases are usually triple net (NNN) with periodic rent bumps and modest landlord responsibilities for CAM in retail centers.
Most leases are franchisee-guaranteed, though many franchisees operate multiple units. While UPS owns the brand, it does not typically guarantee individual leases — a key point for investors to verify.

The UPS Store operates under United Parcel Service (UPS) and serves as the brand’s retail-facing shipping and print center division. It is one of the most recognized names in small business services, with offerings that include packaging, shipping, printing, notary, mailbox rental, and logistics.
