UPS Store to open at The Shops at Sumner Place in Bethesda

The Shops at Sumner Place has finally found a tenant for the long-vacant space at 4611 Sangamore Road, which was previously home to Simon Says Yoga. The UPS Store has leased the storefront, which is between Starbucks and ATI Physical Therapy. If you are not familiar with The UPS Store from its Kenwood Station and downtown Bethesda locations, it offers shipping, shredding, printing, and fax services; passport photos; personal and business mailboxes; and notary services. Simon Says Yoga has previously moved to a new location at 7307 MacArthur Boulevard, in the Glen Echo Shopping Center.

UPS STORE OPENS IN BETHESDA 20816 ZIP CODE WHILE USPS DAWDLES (PHOTOS)

The USPS has been talking for nearly a year about opening a new post office in the 20816 area of Bethesda. Such an opening is still at least a year away.

Meanwhile, UPS has leapfrogged Uncle Sam, and opened a UPS Store in 20816, at 5237 River Road.

The store replaces Anessi Salon in the Kenwood Station shopping center best known as the home of Whole Foods (or, for longtime residents, as once being a Brunswick bowling alley).

The new UPS Store has - yes - mailboxes, printing services, packing and shipping assistance, faxing and notary services...pretty much the things most people need on a regular basis.

For downtown Bethesda residents, if you weren't aware already, there is a UPS Store on Hampden Lane.
