What is the TNS franchise?
The Tns franchise boasts a rich history, tracing its origins to 1963 when its founder, Bill LeVine, established Postal Press, a commercial printing plant in Southern California. Recognizing an unmet demand for rapid, efficient printing of smaller jobs that traditional commercial printers often overlooked, LeVine innovatively converted Postal Press into a "while-you-wait" print center in 1964. This pioneering vision led to the establishment of Postal Instant Press in 1965, with the first location opening that very year.

Today, the Tns franchise operates as one of five distinguished brands under the umbrella of Franchise Services Inc. (FSI), headquartered in Mission Viejo, California. Richard Lowe currently serves as the President & CEO of Franchise Services Inc., continuing a legacy deeply rooted in the
