PUDO Inc. announce that it is on-target and launching its Returns Program in the US. PUDO expects the set-up of PUDOpoint Counters to be faster in the US since it has learned important lessons from the Canadian market. In Canada, PUDO used its technology to set up PUDOpoint Returns Counters in neighborhood convenience stores.

In the US however, PUDO is also targeting independently owned neighborhood mailing and shipping centers. These local stores offer shipping and receiving services as well as printing and office supplies for consumers and small and medium size businesses. Their existing expertise makes setting up PUDOpoint Counters in local shipping stores twice as fast compared to setting up convenience stores.

With this expansion PUDO is happy to announce an agreement between PUDO Inc. and GP Brands Inc. This single agreement could result in as many as 130 new PUDOpoint Counters throughout the US. GP Brands Inc., is the franchisor of Goin' Postal, a successful US chain of more than 130 neighborhood shipping and receiving stores and are already experts in shipping and receiving. While it is up to the individual Goin' Postal Franchisee owners to opt into the PUDO program, GP Brands's CEO James Hall endorses the PUDO program for the opportunity it represents to increase foot traffic in stores.

PUDO also appreciates the efficiency of this agreement. PUDO normally works one-on-one with independent convenience stores and retail locations. This agreement allows PUDO to sign-up 50-100 stores for the effort it would usually employ to sign up 10 locations making the process of starting up PUDOpoints faster by an order of magnitude.
