History
PostNet was founded in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1992 by Steve Greenbaum and Brian Spindel,[2] and originally had Norma A. Knudsen as its COO.[3] The company began franchising in 1993. In 2017, PostNet became part of the global family of MBE International.[4][5] Combined, the two organizations have nearly 2,300 locations in 33 countries.[1]
PostNet markets itself to marginalized investors, targeting minorities, for investment. While owned by the same holding company as AlphaGraphics, it is common knowledge within the corporate office that minority candidates may be better able to qualify for a PostNet franchise than an AlphaGraphics.
