"We chose to buy into P.A.S.S because, although it’s a franchise, we do
not have to pay a monthly franchise fee. We also have the choice to change
or add any service or product to our business as we feel. P.A.S.S. has been
around for years, they offer quality service and quality products to their
customers, a great training program, and a wonderful support team. The level
of support P.A.S.S. has given us has been more than we could ask for. We
have never felt belittled because of questions we’ve had, or hurried from
training we received. When there has been a problem, P.A.S.S. has dealt with
it efficiently. What we like most about being a franchisee is the amount of support
we receive from P.A.S.S., and the fact that they don’t tell us we must have
this or must do that. They suggest and we choose.”

“For as long as I can remember, owning a business was at the top of my priority list. As a child, I began laying the groundwork for success by selling and trading merchandise for the elders in my village. Once I arrived in America, my desires became even stronger. One day in 1988, I was reading a magazine and I saw a brochure on becoming a P.A.S.S. storeowner. This was when I decided to take the first step in making my dreams come true. Having no experience with this type of business, I took a leap of faith and contacted Mike Gallagher, president of P.A.S.S. He made me more determined to give it a try, and as it turned out, it was a great investment. When I first got started with this business, it seemed like I was destined to fail. But through hard work and determination, everything came together. Mike has been a mentor and a great source of support to me. He gave me the courage and will to keep aiming for success. Under his guidance, my dream was finally realized. This business has been good to me and for me. I successfully opened my second P.A.S.S. store in 1998. I can honestly say to any beginner that investing with this company can bring far greater rewards than the risks. I encourage you to take a chance, especially with a mentor like Mike Gallagher.”

“Working
with Mike Gallagher, the president of P.A.S.S., has been a very positive experience
from the first time we spoke on the telephone. Mike is very open and direct.
He’s also very knowledgeable and passionate about the industry and his company.
It’s not hard to see why he has been working in the mail and parcel industry
for so long. The support was evident from the beginning. P.A.S.S. helped locate
a store site, negotiate a lease, prepare a business plan, work with the financial
institutions to procure a loan, and more. The training we received was excellent
and helped us start our operation with minimal issues. The continual support
is great as well. After you are open and operating, and concerns arise, you can
call Mike anytime and he’ll help. If you’re thinking of opening your own mail
and parcel center, I would advise you to seriously consider P.A.S.S. to help
you get started. They have over 25 years of experience, and 700+ stores opened
around the country. And the best part…NO CONTINUOUS ROYALTIES! Mike, thanks for
all your help and continuous support!”
