Female franchisees are out in force at Mail Boxes Etc. (also known as MBE)  with women in charge of a brand new franchise location in Archerfield, south of Brisbane.

The new site is part of the planned expansion for the capital city of the sunshine state. 

Alpana Mehta and Darshika Solanki have been close friends for nearly 15 years. The pair chose the global brand because of brand recognition, the extensive business-to-business services and family-friendly operating hours and environment.

Clayton Treloar, MBE Australia CEO, said “In the wake of International Women’s Day last month, it is fantastic to have both Alpana and Darshika join the MBE Australia team. The knowledge and skills they bring will only enhance the MBE brand moving forward, as we continue to cement our history and credibility across the Australian business community”.

In September last year the business-to-business services franchise hit a milestone, opening its 40th outlet in Australia.

The business has a goal of 80 stores for Australia over the next five years in an aggressive expansion plan that will bring the store tally to 120.
