## Story

Local resident Lee Kennedy is the owner and operator of the franchise location, his first Postal Connections/iSOLD It. His wife, Leticia Sanchez, son, Jacob Kennedy, and father, Ken Kennedy, are supporting the family-run business as well.

“I have been impressed by the Postal Connections/iSOLD It model since day one and have witnessed firsthand how our center can provide convenient, time-saving and personalized services that meet the needs of local residents here in my Bend community,” said Kennedy, whose professional background includes relevant work in the local package delivery industry. “Whether you are working from home and need mail, shipping or notarization services or a local business owner needing to send out your products to customers, Postal Connections is a one-stop, trusted shop to meet your needs.”

The new Bend location marks the company’s fourth east of the Cascades in Oregon (Bend-Redmond), joining five others west of the range in the state.

Headquartered in Frisco, Texas, Postal Connections/iSOLD It has established itself as a leading franchise and provider of an innovative array of business and personal service centers. It offers access to postal products, FedEx, DHL, and accepts drop off ecommerce returns, along with receiving from all carriers.

“Our stores make life easier for residents and businesses alike. Lee and his family are the perfect team to carry out our operating values,” said Fred Morache, COO of Postal Connections/iSOLD It. “I’m confident they will thrive in the Bend market where we have fantastic brand awareness. Today’s ecommerce brings us wonderful products at affordable prices, yet people appear to be starved for customized services when tasks are time consuming or they simply want the benefit of having someone else do it.”

Postal Connections/iSOLD It was able to pivot quickly to meet the challenges of the pandemic head on. When nationwide mandates declared shipping and postal services as essential businesses, the brand met the need of its communities and the nation’s needs as well.
