Located in Calais, Maine, Downeast Hub serves as a central point for the essential services, entrepreneurial support, and business development resources that our region needs to thrive.

At Downeast Hub LLC, we’re not just building businesses—we’re building a movement. A movement fueled by collaboration, guided by purpose, and sustained by the belief that Downeast Maine deserves the same opportunities and innovation as any other urban centers.

At its core, Downeast Hub was built to be a space for growth and innovation. We provide the environment, tools, and mindset to help local entrepreneurs succeed—because we believe the future of Downeast Maine depends on nurturing the dreams and talents of our young people.

Our team is ready and willing to meet new challenges, adapt to the needs of the region, and explore creative solutions that uplift our local economy. We’re not just service providers—if included, we’re community builders who take pride in supporting other small businesses, collaborating on local initiatives, and being a reliable partner in every stage of your journey.

We’re also driven by a passion for business development and genuinely energized by the entrepreneurial spirit. That energy shows in the growing number of services and ventures we offer through Downeast Hub.

One of our most exciting additions is Bravo Zulu Card Grading and Collectables—now proudly part of the Downeast Hub family. As the only card supply and trading card store in the area, Bravo Zulu brings something fresh and unique to Calais, serving hobbyists and collectors with hard-to-find inventory and trusted grading services.

Meanwhile, our U-Haul and U-Box operations continue to expand to meet demand, now including a second satellite lot in nearby Baring—increasing access and convenience for customers in Eastern Washington County. We’re also seeing exciting growth in our Old Hickory Buildings dealership, helping people find quality sheds and structures for all kinds of needs.

Despite this growth and momentum, we remain grounded in one simple truth: to remain open, sustainable, and impactful, we must generate enough profit to keep moving forward. That said, we are committed to offering the lowest possible prices while still maintaining the high level of service our community deserves. Affordability and accessibility will always be at the heart of what we do.

Whether you’re a customer, collaborator, or entrepreneur, we invite you to grow with us. Let’s shape the future of our region—together.

Downeast Hub LLC and Package Depot Proudly Support the Highland Games Tradition in Canada

Downeast Hub LLC and Package Depot, community, culture, and connection are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we were proud international sponsors of the 2024 Perth-Andover and New Brunswick Highland Games. While deciding to discontinue Perth Andover in 2025, we did continue our support in 2025—not only in New Brunswick but also at the renowned Antigonish Highland Games in Nova Scotia, the longest-running Highland Games outside of Scotland.

These historic events are more than just athletic competitions—they are vibrant celebrations of Scottish heritage, local pride, and global community. As businesses rooted in the Downeast region and deeply connected to our Canadian neighbors, we take great joy in supporting events that honor tradition while fostering connection and unity.

Our international sponsorship of the 2024 New Brunswick Highland Games marked an important moment for us. We were thrilled to join the celebration and help keep the spirit of the Highland Games alive, all while connecting with our customer base and community partners across the region. From the sound of the bagpipes to the incredible strength on display during caber tosses and stone throws, every moment reminded us of the power of culture and community.

Building on that momentum, 2025 was a milestone year for Downeast Hub and Package Depot. We returned as proud international sponsors of the New Brunswick Highland Games and took our support a step further by sponsoring the Antigonish Highland Games—a historic and iconic event with deep roots and global recognition. To be part of the longest-running Highland Games outside of Scotland is an honor we don’t take lightly.

These partnerships are more than sponsorships—they’re part of our mission to engage meaningfully with the communities we serve and celebrate the traditions that bring people together. We are committed to supporting the continued success of the Highland Games in years to come and ensuring that these cultural touchstones remain strong and vibrant for future generations.

Whether through logistics, business services, or event sponsorships, Downeast Hub LLC and Package Depot are proud to play a small but meaningful role in keeping heritage alive while building a stronger, more connected future.

We look forward to seeing you at next year’s games—Slàinte Mhath!
