Grab your mail and a cup of Java at ASAP Mail Mart in Mustang

Mustang native Billy Hindman and his wife Cheryl saw an opportunity to own their own business and implement some new ideas when the former owner of ASAP Mail Mart in Mustang Creek Plaza decided to sell the store. The Hindmans became the new owners in Dec. 2006.

One of the first changes the Hindmans made was the addition of Java Dave coffee to the shop.

“This is the only place I know if that will ship your package for you, offer you coffee while you wait, and call to let you know when your package arrives,” Hindman said.

ASAP Mail Mart offers full service packing and shipping services, Federal Express and UPS drop off services, and private mail boxes. Hindman said their mailboxes are different than those at the Post Office because Federal Express or UPS can deliver to a Mail Mart mailbox. Also, he said, their mailboxes offer a lot of privacy and customers can call to see if mail has arrived before driving to the store to pick it up. In addition to mailing, packaging and shipping services, ASAP Mail Mart also offers laminating, notary services, boxes, copies, faxes and gift-wrapping, according to Hindman.

He says the coffee bar is a big hit with customers because Java Dave coffee tastes better than Starbucks and is less expensive.

“You can buy it by the cup or take it home and brew it yourself,” Hindman said. “We also offer tea and several different flavors of hot chocolate including: Smucker Delicious, Irish Crème, and Chocolate Mint. The high school kids call the chocolate mint “the bomb”.

Hindman graduated from Mustang High School. The Hindmans have two children, a daughter who graduated from Mustang and a son who currently attends MHS.

ASAP Mail Mart is located at 705 S. Mustang Rd. Call 577-2727 for more information.
