PackageHub Business Centers® Celebrates Major Milestone: 1,200th Franchise Store Opens
DALLAS, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a remarkable feat for the retail shipping industry, PackageHub Business Centers® proudly announces the opening of its 1,200th independently owned location. With this achievement, PackageHub establishes itself as the second-largest retail shipping franchise in the United States, trailing only behind The UPS Store®.
Rapid Growth in Retail Shipping
Founded in March 2020, PackageHub has quickly garnered attention in the competitive retail shipping sector. The franchise’s unique model allows existing business owners to align with a national brand while maintaining their independence and identity. This combination is not only appealing but has also proven effective in driving success.
Empowering Independent Owners
“Our franchise system empowers small business owners to thrive with national resources, shared buying power, and dedicated support, without giving up what makes them unique,” said Brandon Gale, President of PackageHub. “Our growth reflects the strength of our community—independent owners, united by a shared vision. And we’re proud to represent the heart and hustle of the small business community.”
Each PackageHub location is independently owned, often operated by families or local residents with deep community roots. These small businesses benefit from national support while continuing to deliver the personalized service that keeps their customers coming back.
“Our growth is a direct reflection of the hard work of local business owners across the country,” added Gale. “These are mom-and-pop shops doing big things, and we’re honored to support them every step of the way.”
Celebraing Success at Retail Shippers Expo
PackageHub plans to celebrate this significant milestone at the upcoming Retail Shippers Expo & Trade Show in Dallas, TX, hosted by the Retail Shipping Associates trade organization. This event will gather hundreds of franchisees, independent store owners, partners, and vendors, amplifying the spirit of collaboration and growth.
With the current trajectory, PackageHub is poised to reach 1,800 signed locations by the end of 2025 and aims for an ambitious 2,500 by the close of 2026. Their strategy underscores the potential for continued expansion in the retail shipping market.

It’s great to be part of something bigger while staying true to the community we’ve built here.”
