FedEx Kinko's opens 2,166 s/f location at West Cummings Park

One of three FedEx Kinko's Office and Print Centers planned for Greater Boston has now made its home at 200 West Cummings Park. The 2,166 s/f Washington St. location, which celebrated its Grand Opening on Nov. 5th, is part of a larger plan that the Dallas-based company has to open 320 new locations, worldwide, by June 2008. The location makes FedEx Kinko's a new neighbor to such West Cummings Park residents as Starbucks Coffee, Au Bon Pain, Bank of America, and Lumber Liquidators. "FedEx Kinko's will be a great addition to all the amenities West Cummings Park has to offer to its clients," said Michael Truesdale, the Cummings Properties leasing officer who brokered the multi-year lease. Rob Robledo, a broker for Atlantic Retail Properties in Boston, represented FedEx Kinko's, while Truesdale represented Cummings Properties. "We are thrilled that we had a facility at an outstanding location to meet the needs of FedEx Kinko's," said Dennis Clarke, president and CEO of Cummings Properties. "In addition to hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses, Cummings Properties counts many premier international companies among our clients, and we are pleased to welcome FedEx Kinko's to the neighborhood." West Cummings Park is centrally located at the junction of I-93 and I-95 (Rt. 128). It offers an array of on-site amenities including restaurants, shops, children's day care, full-service banks, hair salons and travel agencies as well as free parking and MBTA express bus service.
