THE UPS STORE NON-TRADITIONAL franchise in South Dakota: what the public record shows

Franchisees of THE UPS STORE NON-TRADITIONAL in South Dakota have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $261,220)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 7.2% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 13 franchised outlets in South Dakota (fiscal 2025) — about 1.41 per 100k residents.
