NEW UPS STORE “WRAPS UP” DOWNTOWN

Harrisburg, PA – Downtown businesses and visitors in need of shipping and document services now have a place to turn in the heart of the city.

Mayor Stephen R. Reed today officially dedicated the new branch of The UPS Store in downtown Harrisburg. Located on the Market Street side of Strawberry Square, the store will offer packing, shipping and mailbox services, as well as copying, binding, finishing and other document services.

Store owner Tom Conners said Harrisburg has a strong market for a store like this to service the many downtown businesses and office centers. “We are delighted to be located in downtown Harrisburg,” said Conners.

The new UPS Store will provides customers with the last opportunity in the city each day for air shipment. Packages can be mailed as late as 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

In addition, the store offers a range of office supplies, including printer cartridges and paper. “This is a unique feature of the store,” said Conners, “because there is currently no other office supply store in the downtown.”

“The UPS Store will be a great contribution to Harrisburg’s existing reputation as a convenient place to live and work,” said Mayor Reed.

The UPS Store and its sister company Mail Boxes Etc. have over 4,500 locations in more than 40 countries and territories. Each UPS Store franchise is independently owned and operated.

The UPS Store is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, contact Tom Conners at (717) 221-0200 or visit www.theupsstore.com.
