Starting a business can be expensive, but UPS has lowered the cost significantly for minority entrepreneurs looking to open a UPS Store.

The company’s diversity ownership program allows minority and LGBTQ+ franchisees to open a company store for $15,000 — half the standard $30,000 price.

“We launched this program in August of 2020,” said Michelle Van Slyke, the company’s interim president for The UPS Store. “We wanted to get the word out to minorities and the LGBTQ+ community, to welcome them and let them know we would appreciate them being part of our network.”

UPS has more than 5,000 stores in the U.S. and all are independently owned and operated.

UPS committed to industry-leading, sustainable solutions

“In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UPS is taking on one of the most complex logistics challenges ever. But thanks to a team of exceptional UPSers, we have the know-how and capabilities to deliver it successfully,” said Alan Williams, vice president, Expo 2020 sponsorships and operations.

As the Official Logistics Partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, UPS is an important player in the lead-up to the event. Like other world expositions, Expo 2020 brings together visitors from all over the world to share solutions to global challenges. And like past expos, Dubai is planning an unforgettable experience with hundreds of new buildings, events and attractions for visitors to explore.

While UPS has expertise managing logistics for mega-events like the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, the six-month-long Expo 2020 – rescheduled to begin October 2021 due to the pandemic – will be an effort unlike any other.

Carol B. Tomé took the helm at UPS just as the pandemic supercharged e-commerce. Some insiders say her efforts to increase profits are generating anxiety among drivers. Tomé’s leaner, faster style is ditching tradition and creating a UPS some veterans don’t recognize.

When Carol B. Tomé took over as the chief executive of United Parcel Service on June 1, 2020, the headline wasn’t that she was the first woman to lead the shipping giant. It was that she was the first outsider to helm the 114-year-old company.

While her predecessor began his career unloading UPS trucks in the 1970s, Tomé was a banker by training who sat on the UPS board but had spent 25 years at Home Depot, most of them as CFO. That was no fluke. Big Brown needed someone unbound by sentiment, who could make the changes that might revive its flatlining stock price at a time of industry upheaval and increasingly fierce competition.
