MAS Mail and Print Center Is Serving and Help The Community

When your father is someone who immigrated here more than 30 years ago, you learn early on the value of hard work, staying humble, and treating people with kindness. For Mohamed, owner of MAS Mail and Print Center, growing up in a family of business owners meant seeing the reality behind the scenes. The long nights. The stress. The frustration that comes with building and running a business.Like every loving child, he asked himself one simple yet powerful question. How can I help?Fast forward a few years, and those lessons from his father never left him. With over 10 years of experience in graphic design and photography, Mohamed realized he could utilize his skills to address real-world problems for his family and community. That is what led him to open MAS Mail and Print.The journey was not easy. Earning trust in the community, and especially becoming a reliable partner for larger companies like FedEx and UPS, took time, patience, and consistency. But Mohamed kept showing up. Supported by a family that believed in him from day one, spreading the word and being his first customers.So remember. Work hard. Stay humble. Treat people with kindness.Because that can make it a good day to go local!
