Same Pride, Different Uniform
If you are a U.S. military service man or woman transitioning back into civilian life, we want to help you achieve the American dream of owning your own business.
The UPS Store®, rated the #1 franchise opportunity in our category for over 25 years by Entrepreneur Magazine, is offering veterans an opportunity to own a The UPS Store franchise through the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative (VetFran) program, a cooperation of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Corporation, and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
