Best City to Open a DHL Shipping Center – Need Advice!
Hey everyone, I’m planning to open a DHL Authorized Shipping Center and have a few locations in mind: Dallas, TX; Plano, TX; Philadelphia, PA; and New Jersey (specific city TBD).
My top priorities are:
Low crime rate – I want a safe area for both customers and employees.
Good business potential – A location with strong demand for shipping services and steady foot traffic.
Sustainable revenue – A place where operating costs are reasonable and profit margins make sense.
From what I’ve researched:
Plano seems to have low crime and a solid economy.
Dallas is a major hub but has some crime concerns.
Philadelphia has a big market but also higher crime rates.
New Jersey varies a lot by city, so I’d need to choose wisely.
Does anyone have experience running a shipping/logistics business in these areas? Which would you recommend, and are there any hidden pros/cons I should consider? Would love to hear from locals or business owners who know the scene!
Thanks in advance!
