DHL Express Opens First Mobile Pop-Up Store in the San Antonio Area

New DHL ServicePoint in San Antonio offers customers fast, convenient shipping options.

DHL, the world’s leading provider of international express shipping services, recently expanded its vast network of U.S. retail locations with a new mobile pop-up store in San Antonio, TX. The 2,200-cubic-feet, 100 percent off-the-grid, mobile DHL ServicePoint offers a convenient, easy-to-use shipping option for customers.

As San Antonio experiences rapid international population and business growth, the retail pop-up will cater to the increased B2C and B2B shipping demands. This includes a sizable immigrant community that relies on international shipping to stay connected with their native countries in Mexico and throughout Latin America. The new unit, located at 12651 Vance Jackson Road, is the first mobile pop-up store in the San Antonio area.

“San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and this expansion aims to meet the rising demand for international shipping services here," stated Aaron Gallagher, SVP Commercial for DHL Express U.S. "The introduction of an innovative mobile pop-up store is designed to enhance accessibility and offer customers a faster, more convenient experience for their international and domestic shipping needs."

The new ServicePoint is entirely powered by a solar-paneled system, contributing to reduced energy consumption, and aligning with the company's mission to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The efficient point-of-sale system can process shipments to U.S destinations and any of the 220 countries and territories that DHL serves. Supplies such as bubble wrap, packing tape and DHL-branded boxes are available at the mobile unit.

To establish this mobile DHL ServicePoint location, DHL collaborated with Flexetail, a leading designer and builder of mobile shops. Flexetail offers brands an affordable opportunity to test products, explore new markets, and launch new lines.

In addition to these company-owned stores, over 3,500 independently owned DHL ServicePoint Partner stores play a critical role in the company's retail strategy within the U.S. market. All locations offer DHL Express international express shipping services (among other brands), as well as global knowledge and expert advice to help businesses reach the international marketplace.
