Description

This is a well-established, 30-year profitable mailbox and shipping center located in the heart of downtown Chicago. The business offers a comprehensive range of services including shipping, mailbox rentals, domestic and international call forwarding, and mail forwarding. It stands out as the only non-franchised establishment of its kind in the downtown area, situated on a prominent and historic street. The business presents significant expansion opportunities, with ample unused indoor space that can be transformed into new revenue streams such as printing, digital design, marketing services, office supplies, and notary services. Currently, the business relies heavily on high pedestrian traffic for its customer base, with no active advertising campaigns. A new owner can capitalize on this by developing stronger partnerships with major shipping carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL, and by introducing new services. The seller is retiring and is offering seller financing with a low down payment of $35,000, and is committed to ensuring a smooth transition by staying on to assist the new owner. This listing represents a strong opportunity for an entrepreneur looking to acquire a stable, profitable business with clear potential for growth.
