Packaging and Shipping
Specialists
DESCRIPTION
Packaging And Shipping Specialists was started by Mike Gallagher in 1981 in Hobbs,
New Mexico. With an awareness of the increased scattering of families across the
nation, Mike saw a gap developing.
Along with the remarkable expansion of mail order companies and the need of consumers
to return unwanted merchandise, Mike recognized the gap between the limited hours,
locations, and services offered by standard package carriers and the needs of the
shipping public.
His goal was to meet that growing demand. The first packaging, shipping, and business
center opened in September 1981. In 1985 Mike relocated to Texas, and since that
time he and his staff have assisted others in successfully opening hundreds of additional
stores. Together they continue to provide all the training and assistance new owners need
in setting up and maintaining each P.A.S.S. business. And they provide total support in store
operation, pricing, marketing, and advertising, as well as comprehensive ongoing assistance.
