Meet The UPS Store Retail Owner, Maya Warrier

Humanitarian. Lawyer. Entrepreneur. Mom. Wife. These are just a few hats that local The UPS Store owner and modern-day superwoman Maya Warrier wears at her store located at 657 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy in Louisville, Ky.

Maya was raised in eastern Kentucky as the youngest sibling of a tight-knit family. Maya earned a finance degree at the University of Louisville, and an MBA shortly thereafter. She always had a strong interest in the legal system, and decided to attend law school. One of her earliest jobs was working in Louisville's Metro Public Defender's Office as a criminal defense attorney. Over the years she also worked for a large private law firm, and even practiced family law on her own. One fateful day a friend introduced her to someone who owned a The UPS Store and the entrepreneurial side of her was intrigued with The UPS Store as a small business venture.

Maya's strong belief that "everything will work out the way it's supposed to" led her to meeting an acquaintance who owned a The UPS Store. She and her husband Matt, a fellow attorney, were intrigued. Their entrepreneurial spirit kicked into high gear and they were thrilled to buy their local The UPS Store in 2017.

Maya gives credit to her outstanding team for developing relationships with customers, including one who recently returned from vacation and dropped a souvenir hat off at the store for a favorite employee. "I'm a firm believer in employee growth and training," Maya says.

Despite a busy schedule Maya always works in time to give back to her community. Her store proudly supports charitable donations for the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. Outside of the store, Maya is personally involved in the community as an advocate for several causes that support the legal and humanitarian rights of women and children.

With a career in full bloom as a local retail store owner, a part time lawyer, real estate investor and a community pillar, this modern-day super woman is also a busy mom of four kids. With the kid's school, music lessons, sports practices and traveling with her husband, Maya is always on the move.
