Number of units
PostNet had 204 total units in 2026, of which 204 were franchised-owned and 0 company-owned.
PostNet provides comprehensive training for franchisees, ensuring they are well-prepared to manage their centers effectively. The training includes:
Initial Owner Training: This is a mandatory pre-opening program, requiring completion at least six weeks before the center's launch. It includes both e-learning and in-person sessions tailored to operational and management skills.
Wide Format and OpX Bootcamp Training: These additional specialized training sessions are required within the first year of signing the franchise agreement. They focus on operational excellence and technical skills relevant to PostNet services.
Performance Groups: Franchisees participate in structured groups over three years. These sessions target areas such as lead generation, lead conversion, customer retention, and growing existing accounts. Franchisees set performance goals and collaborate with peers to achieve them.
Mentorship Program: PostNet connects new franchisees with experienced mentors for ongoing support and advice. This program encourages in-person or virtual engagements for practical insights and assistance.
Territory Protection
PostNet provides limited territory protection by designating a "Protected Territory" where no other PostNet center will be established during the franchise term, as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement.
However, this protection is non-exclusive, allowing the franchisor to operate other business concepts or sell similar products through different channels outside the territory.
While some operational safeguards exist, competition from the franchisor or others outside the territory remains possible.
