The UPS Store Storefronts at Junior Achievement Learning Facilities
Thanks to our The UPS Store Start Small, Grow Big® partnership with Junior Achievement USA, new The UPS Store imaginative storefronts are opening inside JA BizTown and Finance Park locations across the country. These simulated towns give students the opportunity to step into real-world roles such as business owners, bankers, and city leaders to see what it’s like to run a small business. Students get hands-on experience exploring entrepreneurship, practicing customer service, and managing a small business in a fun, interactive environment.
The photos below capture ribbon-cutting celebrations and grand openings at JA BizTown Finance Park and locations nationwide, with more storefronts continuing to open as we inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
