A bit more…about Mail ‘N’ More
Mail ‘N’ More, located at 690 Saratoga Road (Route 50) in Burnt Hills, New York, has been a cornerstone of the community since its establishment in 1987. Founded by Ralph DeLuke, the business began primarily as a packing and shipping center, aiming to provide reliable services to local residents and businesses. Over the years, it has significantly expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of the community.
In its early years, Mail ‘N’ More focused on essential mailing services, but recognizing the diverse requirements of its clientele, the store broadened its scope. Today, it offers a wide array of services including copying, printing, graphic design, emailing, faxing, scanning, and shredding. This expansion reflects the store’s commitment to being a comprehensive solution for both business and personal needs.
More has diversified its product range. Customers can find office and school supplies, ink and toner cartridges, computer accessories, and greeting cards. The store also showcases local school fan gear, sports memorabilia, and specialty food items from local vendors, such as honey, maple syrup, jams, and hot sauces. This emphasis on local products underscores the store’s dedication to supporting regional artisans and producers.
The store’s commitment to the community is evident through its active participation in local events and initiatives. In 2014, founder Ralph DeLuke was honored as the Grand Marshal of the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Flag Day Parade. This annual event, which began in 2002, celebrates patriotism and community spirit. DeLuke’s selection as Grand Marshal highlights his significant contributions to the local area.
Mail ‘N’ More also serves as a convenient ticket outlet for community events. For instance, tickets for the annual Founder’s Day celebration, organized by the Parent Teacher Associations of the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School District, are available for purchase at the store. This event honors individuals who have made notable contributions to local schools and the broader community.
Throughout its history, Mail ‘N’ More has remained a family-owned and operated business. The knowledgeable staff, including David and Matt, take pride in offering personalized customer service, ensuring that each visitor’s needs are met with professionalism and care. This dedication has solidified the store’s reputation as a trusted and integral part of the Burnt Hills community.
In summary, Mail ‘N’ More’s evolution from a simple packing and shipping center to a multifaceted business hub exemplifies its responsiveness to community needs. Its extensive range of services and products, coupled with active community involvement, has established it as a beloved local institution in Burnt Hills, New York.
