Own an Essential B2B Printing & Marketing Franchise
Minuteman Press is a complete marketing service provider that has helped businesses grow for over 45 years. We’ve developed a unique business model that provides products and services that businesses need for their everyday operations, in addition to their marketing and advertising efforts. Prior experience is not needed to own and operate a Minuteman Press franchise. Our owners are business people that are alert to the needs of their local business community and can enjoy a long-term repeat relationship with their clients by providing exceptional quality and service.
Our Model
For the past 45 years and counting, Minuteman Press has developed a unique position in the market by providing excellent quality and service to local business owners. Since the beginning when the first Minuteman Press location was opened in Plainview, NY in 1973, we have continued to innovate by adding products & services and refining our franchise system to benefit our owners. Today, We Are The Modern Printing Industry™ providing innovative marketing and branding solutions to today's business professionals.
No Experience Necessary
The majority of Minuteman Press owners didn’t have a background in the industry. Our owners are business people, who are active within their local community and pride themselves on excellent quality and service. They have the knowledge and support of a proven franchise system to help businesses develop brand identity and grow. Our businesses can provide anything you can put a name, image or logo on that a business uses for their daily operations.
Every Business is a Potential Customer
Take a look around your office, your home, businesses you visit, stores you shop at or restaurants you dine at. You’re going to see products & services we offer such as promotional items like coffee mugs, forms and flyers, custom branded apparel, postcards, signs & banners, and more. That's because all businesses – regardless of their size or industry and whether they're startups, long-established companies, government groups or nonprofits – need and use printed media every business day. We'll offer anything a business uses for their everyday operations as well as their advertising and marketing efforts. In today's world of cluttered and unproven advertising, businesses are searching for cost-effective approaches to develop more than ever before. Minuteman Press centers have the programs set up to provide outcomes and ensure repeat business from clients.
Training
The majority of our owners didn't have prior industry experience, and many have not owned a business before. Our owners will focus their efforts on managing & marketing their business, not doing the production work. We've developed a detailed two week training program conducted by our professional training staff, many of whom were with Minuteman Press since its beginning. In training we assume two items, you don't have any previous background in printing and you've never run your own business before.

Ongoing Local Support
Something that makes Minuteman Press very unique in franchising is the continuing local support that we provide to our owners. We have established one of the largest support teams in franchising. Setting up regional offices strategically located across the United States. Each one of our regional offices is staffed with a Regional Vice President and field staff to assist our owners on a local level. Their goal is to provide assistance in virtually all aspects of running a successful business and show our owners how to build their franchise. We believe in building a relationship with our owners and our local support team is always available to offer advice and lend a helping hand. Our goal is to make you as successful as possible, as quickly as possible, and to strive to work together with you to grow your business.
