Buying or selling? Start here.
Buying or selling an established location of The UPS Store involves more than agreeing on a price. The valuation has to hold up, the buyer has to be financially and operationally qualified, and corporate approval, financing, lease requirements, transfer costs, and closing details all have to come together. Jim McElroy brings experience from store ownership, support, development, site selection, lease negotiation, training, and established-store transactions to every stage of that process.
