Why P.A.S.S.

The time-proven formula of offering a quality product at a fair price with outstanding service is what makes a P.A.S.S. store right for you.

The advantage of launching your P.A.S.S. store is that the hardest tasks are completed for you: finding a way to fulfill a need; learning how to market that concept; finding the proper suppliers; knowing what to charge; and obtaining the necessary skills. You don't need to spend years and many thousands of dollars learning what works and what doesn't. You can get right to the job of running your own business.

About P.A.S.S.

Mike Gallagher started Packaging And Shipping Specialists in 1981 in Hobbs, New Mexico. With an awareness of the increased scattering of families across the nation, Mike saw a gap developing.

Along with the remarkable expansion of mail order companies and the need of consumers to return unwanted merchandise, Mike recognized the gap between the limited hours, locations and services offered by standard package carriers and the needs of the shipping public.

His goal was to meet that growing demand. In 1985 Mike relocated to Texas, and since that time he and his staff have assisted others in successfully opening hundreds of additional stores. Together, they continue to provide all the training and assistance new owners need in setting up and maintaining each P.A.S.S. business. And they provide total support in store operation, pricing, marketing and advertising as well as comprehensive ongoing assistance.

Each store may choose their own name as they are owned and freely operated by enterprising people from all walks of life.

A First Class Opportunity

P.A.S.S. is a service that offers people greater convenience, greater flexibility and greater choices than they could ever get from the Post Office. The need is tremendous, and it's an idea whose time has truly come.

Fulfilling A Need

The only way to succeed in business is to satisfy a need. But identifying the right need is not easy. For some, the market may be too small to lead to profitability. Or there may be obstacles that aren't apparent until it's too late. Your P.A.S.S. store eliminates this concern.

Marketing the Concept

How much advertising is enough? What media works best? What groups should you target? What services do they want? These are the questions we can answer. There's no need to waste money experimenting. We'll help you make informed decisions.
