Postal Connections Expands Into New Jersey Retail Franchise Expands By 266% In Less Than 3 Years

(Thursday, May 19, 2005) - Postal Connections of America (PCA), a rapidly growing network of franchise postal, business and communication services stores, today opens its newest store in Marlton, New Jersey, in the Philadelphia area. It is the chain's first expansion into the Garden State. New franchise owners, Paul and Kathy Taylor, who live in the area, will operate the store. The PCA retail chain has 77 stores sold or open in 22 states, a 266% increase in the past two and a half years since the current management team took over in September of 2002.

"After looking at many options we decided to join Postal Connections because it was the best opportunity to build a family business," says Paul Taylor. "We have teenage children and wanted a business that allowed us to spend evenings and most weekends with our family," Taylor added. Taylor is a commercial airline pilot and will continue flying while working with his wife, Kathy, in the Marlton Postal Connections.

"Postal Connections has structured its franchise opportunity to be a good choice for starting up family businesses because it is a proven retail model developed over the past 25 years," says C. "Andy" Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of PCA. "Our franchise is very affordable, our stores are customer friendly, convenient, and comfortable plus we hold down build out costs," Thompson said.

The Marlton Postal Connections store is located in fast growing Burlington County, New Jersey, where suburban development extends out from Philadelphia and consumers on-the-go as well as small office/home office (SOHO) businesses need convenience and personalized service.

PCA stores offer packaging, shipping, mail receiving and forwarding, copies, eBay auction support and other products and services. Unlike many similar stores, PCA franchise stores feature shipping alternatives giving customers choices in prices, delivery times and carriers, instead of selling only one shipper's service. PCA stores typically operate in malls where there is ample parking with a large grocery store or other high traffic retailer.

Postal Connections of America is based in San Diego, and has been franchising stores since 1999. The franchise is a subsidiary of Global Business Services, Inc. (GBNS.PK) headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA.
