FedEx Office is known as FedEx Office Print & Ship Services Inc. But before that, it was known to be FedEx Kinko’s or Kinko’s for short. The name Kinko’s was derived from the founder Paul Orfalea’s nickname which is Kinko. He founded the company in the same name in 1970 but it wasn’t a one-stop shipping, printing and copying shop. It started as a copy shop at first until Paul Orfalea decided to expand his services.
