Local husband-wife team launch unique Evans business

2020 was a hard year for most, but for Jon and Laura McCauley, it was especially difficult.

Jon – a chemical engineer – lost his son in a car accident and decided it was time for a career change. He and his wife, Laura – a proposal writer for a large technology company – opened a PostalAnnex store (see photo above) at 5121 Washington Road, Suite 2 in the Riverwood Town Center on Monday, Nov. 15. Opening the store “was a long process,” says Laura. “We were very excited when we got to open.” PostalAnnex sells a variety of items, such as stamps, office supplies, and even gifts. “We are an independent shipping provider,” she states. “We handle shipping for the post office, UPS, DHL, and FedEx.” The store also provides many other services, including faxing, scanning, copying, and cutting keys. “We have private mailboxes,” which means they can accept packages on a customer’s behalf, Laura explains. “That’s just an extra value for the customer.” She and Jon also provide notary services.

As Riverwood residents, the couple has enjoyed serving their local community. “Serving our neighbors ended up being a perfect fit,” she says. Laura helps with the business when Jon needs her, but she does her full-time job on a computer at the store. Launching the business has been the first time they have worked together. “It’s definitely been a learning experience,” she states. “We have been able to spend more time together than ever.”
