Minuteman Press International has made the Franchise Direct Top 100 Global Franchises for 2017 list.
Minuteman has 55 stores in Australia, and 950 around the world. The franchise print sector is a significant part of the Australian print industry, with Snap, Kwik Kopy, Minuteman, MBE, Signarama and Signwave among the bigger players in what adds up to around 500 print franchise stores around the country.
The Franchise Direct rankings were generated using a formula designed to be as objective as possible, incorporating a host of criteria including, but not limited to: system size, franchise longevity, and support methods for franchisees.
Bob Titus, CEO, Minuteman Press says, “This is especially rewarding because these rankings take into account the longevity of our business model that has been tried, proven, and refined for over 40 years, as well as the high level of ongoing support we have provided to our owners since we started franchising in 1975.
“Today, our franchise has grown to nearly 1,000 locations across five countries, and we would not be able to receive such high rankings without our owners and their dedication to our system.”

Minuteman Press is ranked number one in category by Entrepreneur magazine 25 times and 14 years in a row, including 2017. Franchise Business Review has also named Minuteman Press International to its 2017 Top Franchises and 2017 Top B2B Franchises lists due to positive feedback and reviews from owners.
Titus says, “As a top global franchise, Minuteman Press International offers key benefits for owners in addition to providing full training and ongoing local support. Because target customers are other businesses, Minuteman Press B2B franchises typically operate on a Monday-Friday schedule during normal business hours.
“This enables owners the potential to spend quality time with their families at nights and on weekends. Minuteman says since many business owners use print in their operations and seek out ways to market and grow their businesses, Minuteman Press products and services are able to help fill those essential needs of today’s business professionals.”
