Kennesaw State’s Talon Express opened its doors on the Kennesaw campus in September, offering printing and shipping services to the KSU community.
Talon Express resides on the second floor of the James V. Carmichael Student Center. The store was built to replace the UPS store located in the Student Center, but was closed last spring on April 26.
The UPS store remained on KSU’s campus for four years, but the university decided to open a KSU-owned shop instead.
“We have appreciated our relationship with the UPS Store,” Assistant Vice President of Campus Services Kasey Helton said. “But by opening a store that is owned and operated by Kennesaw State University, we can be more flexible and can reinvest in projects that benefit our campus community.”
Talon Express offers many of the same amenities that the UPS store on campus used to offer. The services that Talon Express offers includes full-service printing, packing and label making, posters and graphic designs.
One service that was offered at the UPS store that is not yet offered at Talon Express is the option to have a passport photo taken.
Aviaon Navarro and Kaodi Okafor, two student assistants at Talon Express, said that they receive packages at the store that students who live on campus order and notify students via email that the package has arrived safely and is ready to be picked up.
Residential students can pick up their letters at the mail window at the shop during its business hours, but students may pick up any packages they received from the lockers inside of the store any time, according to Talon Express’ website.
An art store is also available within Talon Express, providing supplies for ceramics, photography, painting, illustration, sculpting and more, according to its website.
The services available at Talon Express can be used by any faculty, staff and students on campus.
