Mail Boxes Etc. Chichester is celebrating 10 years since Kalpesh Chudasama and current store manager Judy Veniamaki took over the business in 2016, marking a decade of steady growth, local service and entrepreneurial success.

Based at The Hornet in Chichester, the store has built a strong reputation by supporting both small and medium-sized businesses and personal customers across the local area. Over the past decade, Kal, Judy and Abi Taplin have developed the centre into a trusted hub for mailbox services, parcel packing and shipping, fulfilment, and print and marketing solutions.

Kal said:

“It has been ten years since we took over Mail Boxes Etc. in Chichester, and we can hardly believe how quickly the time has passed. We have learned so much and achieved a great deal during the last decade, and we couldn’t be happier to be working together as a team.

We would like to sincerely thank our customers, providers, and everyone who supports us in doing what we love to do.”

The milestone is another example of how the Mail Boxes Etc. franchise model can help franchisees build resilient, service-led businesses in their local communities. At a time when many high streets continue to face challenges, MBE has continued to expand its network by offering services that reflect how people now live and work.

Kal said: “As a brand, Mail Boxes Etc. is currently bucking the trend on UK high streets and is one of the few chain store outlets opening more stores, which I believe is because its service range meets so many growing needs.”

That service range has helped make MBE relevant to a broad customer base. In Chichester, growing demand has come from ecommerce businesses, home-based businesses and customers who want professional support with shipping, printing and mailbox services.

Kal added: “With ecommerce booming and the growth in working from home, there are a huge number of businesses in the local area who want a postal mailbox, separate from their operational or residential address and a professional solution for shipping worldwide.”

For prospective franchisees, the Chichester story shows the strength of a business model built around practical, in-demand services rather than a single revenue stream. By combining shipping, fulfilment, mailboxes, print and business support services, Mail Boxes Etc. centres are well positioned to serve both businesses and consumers in a changing market.

Ten years on, MBE Chichester stands as a strong example of what can be achieved through local commitment, customer service and the support of an established franchise network.
