PostNet, a global leader in high-quality shipping, printing and logistics solutions, has opened a new veteran-owned center in Alexandria, Virginia, at 6471 Old Beulah Street, and will host a grand opening celebration on Aug. 18 at 11 am.

Owned by Eric Bell and Nick Munchel, PostNet Alexandria will provide local entrepreneurs, nonprofits, government professionals, military families and growing businesses with printing, shipping, design and business services backed by personalized support.

The grand opening event, in coordination with the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce and the Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce, will include refreshments, music and invited guests from area businesses and civic and nonprofit organizations.

Veteran leadership brings a service-first approach. After a combined 25 years of military service and professional experience in government contracting, finance and nonprofit mentorship, Bell and Munchel saw PostNet as a way to help organizations and businesses in their area succeed.

“Every successful organization relies on clear communication, dependable logistics, strong branding and trusted relationships,” Bell said. “PostNet Alexandria was built around that idea. We want customers to feel like they have an advisor who understands their goals and can help them look professional, communicate more effectively and move their best ideas forward.”

Bell and Munchel will partner with local schools, nonprofits and youth organizations by providing printing and marketing services while supporting fundraising initiatives, chamber events and volunteer efforts. The owners are involved with A Few Good MENtors, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring young men, and support the D.C. Divas women’s football team.

“Eric and Nick understand that PostNet is at its best when it becomes an active part of the community,” said PostNet Vice President of Franchise Development Bill McPherson. “Their commitment to serving others, combined with their leadership experience, gives them everything they need to build a thriving PostNet location. We expect them to become a go-to resource for businesses and organizations throughout Alexandria.”
