Pak Mail Passes 100 Store Milestone in Mexico

Evan Lasky, President and CEO of Pak Mail Centers of America, Inc., has announced that there are now 107 Pak Mail centers operating in Mexico. The significant progress in the growth of the company in Mexico has been due to the efforts of two master franchisees who have been marketing the Pak Mail concept in that country for the past 15 years.

Jacobo Buzali, master franchisee operating out of Mexico City, has opened 95 stores, sixty of which are located in the Mexico City area. Salomon Sustiel, master franchisee operating out of Guadalajara, opened his fifteenth store in Manzanillo on April 23, 2008.

“We are extremely proud of the presence Pak Mail has realized in Mexico as a result of the franchise marketing efforts of Jacobo and Salomon. These two men understand how important it is to identify the type of individuals that make ideal franchisees and more importantly understand how important it is to provide comprehensive support to them once their stores are opened. That’s the essence of successful franchising,” says Mr. Lasky.

Founded in 1984, Pak Mail is a premier specialty packaging, shipping and business support franchise with more than 400 centers in North America and 60 international locations in six countries. For information and locations of Pak Mail Centers, call 1-800-778-6665 or visit www.PakMail.com .”*
