The PennZone

DETROIT - PennZone -- The UPS Store, Inc., the world's largest franchisor of retail shipping, postal, printing, and business services centers, has named Detroit-based greeting card publisher Avanti Press its 2022 Vendor of the Year.

The award was the result of a comprehensive survey to the entire network of centers across the USA.  The survey sought feedback about all vendors on multiple questions; the vendor with the highest compiled result earned the award. This was the second time Avanti Press was named the winner, having been selected in 2019 as well.

At the award ceremony, held at this year's National Convention, leadership from The UPS Store cited "flawless customer care, exceptional support" and reinforced the way the network was supported by the greeting card publisher during the significant upheaval prompted by Covid-19.
