Bob Mundt, Sr. is the man behind the big brown UPS trucks as they cover the state, making deliveries and connecting friends, families and businesses.
Mundt, who turns 69 this year, has been in the business for 19 years as a franchisee for The UPS Store. He was recently recognized as the fourth Mail Boxes Etc. employee to earn the Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I was very surprised and flattered. This business is a great business, with great opportunities for someone willing to work,” Mundt said. “I found it to be a very enjoyable activity. I liked coming into work in the morning. I couldn’t say that about my old job.”
After receiving a bachelor’s degree in social science from Loyola University in Chicago, Mundt worked for a now-defunct automotive supplier for 18-19 years before connecting with Mail Boxes Etc., UPS’ franchisor.
The intersection at 12 Mile and Evergreen roads was Mundt’s first location. He moved into Novi not long after, and the transition through Northville and the rest of the area was not far behind. Mundt now franchises 97 UPS stores, blanketing the lower third of Michigan.
