OAKVILLE, Ontario-Mail Boxes Etc. Canada said most of its 275 franchise locations in Canada are now operational as Wi-Fi hot spots.
The company worked together with Bell Canada and BOLDstreet Wireless to launch the service across its locations. Customers can access the Internet while in MBE stores and billing charges will appear on their monthly statement. Customers also have the option of using a credit card to purchase prepaid time.
“A large percentage of our customers are teleworkers and business travelers who use MBE centers as their remote office,” said Malcolm Houser, chief operating officer of Mail Boxes Etc. Canada. “Being able to offer our customers Wi-Fi capabilities as part of our service menu is a natural extension of who we are and what we do.”
