PostNet Neighborhood Business Center Comes to Verona

Retired Executive, Ed Harrington, formerly in charge of corporate global accounts for MCI and son, Scott Harrington, IT professional in technical project management for large networks, will open a PostNet center in the 7-11 plaza, at 281 Bloomfield Avenue in Verona.  The center is scheduled to open on August 1.

PostNet of Verona provides design, copywriting, print, copy and shipping services all under one roof, catering to small business owners, employees who work from home, and busy consumers in the Essex County area. PostNet offers a number of digital printing, document finishing and professional packaging services as well freedom of choice for the customer as an authorized shipping outlet for FedEx, UPS, DHL, and the U.S. Postal Service.

According to Ed Harrington, “I knew I couldn’t stay retired for long so over the years, Scott and I did a deep dive into researching franchises. After a detailed analysis, we decided on PostNet. We talked to a lot of owners and no one had any negatives to say about this organization.”

Scott Harrington is a resident of Verona, while his father, Ed, who lived in West Caldwell for over 25 years, now lives in Jackson, NJ.

“There are over 400 PostNet franchises in the U.S. and 300 more in other parts of the world,” Scott Harrington added. “One thing we were looking for when we made our decision was an organization that was using modern technology, usually reserved for larger corporations, that, with our experience, we could make available to small and medium sized businesses.”

In addition to design, print, bind and ship services, Postnet will offer faxing, mailbox rentals, and computer stations. Ed Harrington continued, “We are the neighborhood business center, offering well rounded professional services and years of experience. We’re more than clerks."

“If a small business needs to discuss I.T. or social networking, consulting was our background and will continue to be an adjunct to our other services,” explained Scott. “What we also have behind us are 400 specialists at the other locations who have their own expertise to share. If someone walks in with an off-the-wall project, we probably have the resources to do it.”

“I came out of retirement for this.” Ed Harrington commented. “Working with my son and making something out of nothing together will be a rewarding feeling I have missed since retiring.” Scott concluded, “We both came out of the corporate world, we know the rules. We’re here to work and to help the nearby business and private community.”
