Yes. The UPS Store locations in the United States are independently owned and operated by franchisees of The UPS Store, Inc., a UPS company headquartered in San Diego, although the company notes that one or more locations may be company-owned. In Canada, the stores are run by The UPS Store’s master licensee and its franchisees.
Because each store is a franchise, the people who work there, including notaries, are employees of that franchisee rather than of The UPS Store, Inc. That is also why products, services, prices, and hours can vary from one location to another.
