Originally established as The Mail Center in 2000, Mailbox Plus began its journey in Grants Pass, Oregon, near Jim Sigel Automotive. Recognizing the need to be closer to downtown, the business relocated to the old Pacific Power building on 6th Street, where it operated for 14 years, featuring a convenient drive-thru and portico.
When the building owners reclaimed the space, the future of the business was uncertain, and closure seemed imminent. However, a loyal customer encouraged the owners to continue. In 2016, the business moved to its current location and rebranded as Mailbox Plus.
In May 2023, after 23 years of dedicated service, the business was passed on to the next generation. Chelsea, the daughter of the former owner Candy, and her husband Ben took over the reins, ensuring that the legacy of Mailbox Plus would continue.
Over the past year, Mailbox Plus has undergone several exciting changes. The business expanded its hours of operation and introduced additional FedEx and UPS shipping options. New services like Mobile Notary and Virtual Mailboxes, which can be accessed from anywhere, were added to meet the evolving needs of customers. The shop also introduced fresh box and envelope sizes, phone accessories, freeze-dried treats, handmade greeting cards, and a newly renovated lobby.
Despite these changes, Mailbox Plus remains committed to serving the community with the same care and dedication it has shown for over two decades. With Chelsea and Ben at the helm, the future of Mailbox Plus looks bright, as they continue to embrace new challenges and opportunities with enthusiasm and a touch of family-owned charm.
