The average PostNet center is 1,000 to 1,200 square feet. However, we have centers as small as 700 square feet and larger centers that range upward of 2,000 square feet. The PostNet concept is flexible, and the size of your center will depend not only on your plans but also on the availability of locations in your market.
PostNet is with you every step of the way, from identifying a location through the opening of your business. You will work closely with our Director of Real Estate to identify every location in your market that meets PostNet’s criteria. Once the location is identified, PostNet offers assistance through the lease negotiation, which culminates in the execution of a lease for your new business location.
