The large majority of our owners do not have previous industry experience, and many have never owned a business. We have developed a comprehensive two-week training program that covers all aspects of owning and operating a successful centre. Our system was continually refined and updated over the previous 35-plus years. Through the training, we'll teach you all facets of the business, from marketing and management to pricing. We have also developed proprietary business pricing and management software that is thought of as the very best in the industry. It makes operating a Minuteman Press facility easier and more efficient. The software, FLEX, enables you to track all of your marketing efforts, customer spending habits, workflow, and pricing.

Once you complete training, a representative from the local office will continue your training in your centre. They'll assist in the installation of the business, including everything from guidance on staffing and starting the marketing programs.
After the initial training and setup are complete, our local representative will continue to provide onsite support to you. Ultimately, we build real relationships with our owners, and our local support team is always available to offer advice and a helping hand. Our goal is to make you as successful as possible, as quickly as possible, and to continually work with you to grow your business.

Prior experience isn't required to run and operate a successful Minuteman Press franchise. Our owners are business people who are alert to the needs of the local business community and focus on developing long-term repeat business relationships with their clients by offering exceptional service.
Although our franchise owners come from various backgrounds and have distinct personality types, they also have certain similarities. They're alert to the needs of their customers; they show enthusiasm for helping other business owners grow; they provide exceptional customer service and superior work; they manage their employees well; and last but not least, they have a very strong work ethic and take pride in their business.

“I decided to become a franchisee with Minuteman Press over 25 years ago. This was something I carefully researched before entering into it. What attracted me to Minuteman Press was that they were well established within the printing industry with a large network of support, fixed royalty payments, and a business structure that gives me the freedom to enjoy the lifestyle that I desire. The group buying power of the combined franchisees is an incredible bargaining tool with our vendors, and gives us a competitive edge in the marketplace.”

"The corporate office is always finding ways for each franchisee to grow their business. The one thing that has always stood out for me is as a franchise owner is the fact that this is our business. We run it the way we see fit. The head office is there for as much or as little support as we need. Our Regional VP and Field Rep are always a phone call away. We wanted autonomy and that is exactly what Minuteman Press International gives us."
