Greenville Business Magazine 2010 May issue : Page 61UPS Store - Downtown Do you live or work downtown? A tried and true business friend has just been updated to make your life a lot easier. Bo Foster has just taken over the UPS store in downtown Greenville for all the right reasons, “ I love the smell of commerce in the morning. You can’t beat downtown Greenville. The City has done wonders for with this area and it has developed a very friendly vibe. There is a real sense of community here among the businesses. It feels like everyone is looking out for everyone else here. As a new business owner, I’ve had the privilege of learn- ing a great deal from my peers. Located at 209 N. Main Street, Foster says, UPS Store 4316 is making life way more convenient for the people who live and work close by, “ In addition to shipping, we also pack your items, we also pack your items. We offer a full array of document services as well as mailbox rentals, office supplies, book binding, laminating, as far as business solutions, there’s not a lot we don’t do.” Foster goes on to say that personal mailboxes are “the hot thing right now. Unlike a P.O. Box, the personal mail- boxes offered at the UPS Store have an actual physical street address. People seem to like having an address on Main Street.” Note: a personal mailbox may also be one of the last truly private, confidential ways to get and send mail. Going to Foster’s UPS store has an additional perk that not many others offer,” I actually have a BA in the visual arts so I am always willing to do design work for anyone who wants it. I’ve done menus, customer survey cards, price tags, you name it. I’m always looking for a challenge to push me as an artist.” Foster continues “ As with most small business owners, I was attracted to the idea being my own boss. The idea of long lunches, flexible hours and tons of vacation time was very appeal- ing to me. However, once I became my own boss, all those illusions quickly shattered.” There you have it, A UPS guy with services that make life run smoother.. and a sense of humor to make you smile as you send off those bills and that way overdue wedding present. ■ MAY 2010 | GREENVILLE BUSINESS MAGAZINE 61 Publication List |
