With over five decades in the print, signage, and marketing services industry, the AlphaGraphics franchise brand stands as a true testament to lasting success.
AlphaGraphics franchisees find their niche as true consultants rather than just service providers. From traditional print and signage to advanced digital marketing solutions, SEO and SEM strategies, website development, and direct mail campaigns, a diverse mix of services creates opportunity for recurring revenue with every customer.
Some are surprised when they learn a background in printing is not a pre-requisite for AlphaGraphics ownership.
Accountant Jerron Hale joined the network in 2002 after purchasing an AlphaGraphics in Utah. Sam Reed, an executive with PepsiCo for 26 years, took early retirement and researched dozens of business opportunities before opening an AlphaGraphics in Texas. Mehul Patel, a hospitality entrepreneur located in the Dallas, Texas area, was particularly excited about the business-to-business opportunities AlphaGraphics offered when he opened his center.
As business owners, Hale, Reed, and Patel share a desire to be fully engaged in their Center’s daily operations and to become a trusted partner of their customers by engaging in a solutions-focused relationships.
“I love being able to stand up at a networking event and say AlphaGraphics has something to offer everyone in this room. We’re not a cookie-cutter business,” said Hale.
Franchise ownership is never a solo journey with AlphaGraphics. Whether it’s troubleshooting an issue, implementing a new strategy, or navigating industry shifts, franchisees always have a dedicated support network ready to assist.
AlphaGraphics provides a comprehensive support system to all partners in the field that starts with a three-phase training program—online, live in Denver, and hands-on pre- and post-opening. Ongoing support includes dedicated business coaches, marketing resources, peer groups, leadership councils, and annual franchisee conferences.
Instead of navigating the uncertainties of entrepreneurship alone, franchise owners at AlphaGraphics gain the confidence that comes with an experienced team and a system designed for long-term growth.
Franchise Partner Alignment Matters
Placing a priority on cultural fit within the network has propelled AlphaGraphics to more than 265 centers across the U.S. and select international markets with plans to have 300+ Centers in the next few years.
“Our focus on finding the right people who fit our franchise culture has caused all parties to flourish,” said Bill McPherson, AlphaGraphics Vice President of Retail Network Development. “While financial criteria and market availability still play a part it takes a community of people who enjoy what they do and thrive in this culture to garner this type of growth year after year.
“Making sure our franchisees stay happy and that they deliver quality products and services to their local customers has paid off with our continued success.”
In 2024 success looked like one of the most profitable and expansive years in brand history with $330 million in sales systemwide and 22 signed franchise agreements (12 new owners and 10 current owners who are becoming multi-unit owners) as well as multiple awards in franchisee satisfaction, sales and other categories.
