Imagine a
business, with every other
business as your potential
customer, and you have
just imagined our printing
business. All businesses,
large or small, from high
tech to your neighborhood
shops, all use printed
matter in the daily operation
of their business. We are
sure that you can see the
magnitude of the industry,
and the wide market base
we serve. As a Minuteman
Press owner, you will have
a unique place in the printing
industry, having the capability
to serve virtually all
the printing needs a business
may be faced with.
In addition, you will
find our business to be
a creative one; challenging
and exciting, a business
which will allow you to
test all of your abilities
and potential. You will
own your business but be
secure and have peace of
mind knowing that we have
the experience and are
available to assist, educate,
guide, and work with you
on an on-going basis in
developing your business.
As a Minuteman Press franchisee,
you will be able to take
advantage of the cost
savings on various supplies
ordered through MMP Supply
Company. MMP Supply Company
is a corporation that
distributes supplies
exclusively to Minuteman
Press franchise owners
throughout our international
network.
MMP Supply deals with
vendors who have many distribution
points and ship directly
to our store owners. While
you are not obligated to
purchase your supplies
through MMP Supply Company,
our mass purchasing power
allows us to pass on savings
to our owners. In most
cases, MMP Supply Company
offers prices that are
much less than you could
obtain elsewhere as an
individual purchaser. In
addition to MMP Supply
Company, Minuteman Press
International has negotiated
special discounted prices
with many vendors you will
be dealing with once you
become a franchise owner.
The strength of Minuteman
Press rests in the quality
of individuals operating
as Minuteman Press franchise
owners. As such, in order
to maintain the continued
growth and development
of Minuteman Press, we
provide on-going support
through our strategically
located regional support
offices throughout the
world. You will be in business "for
yourself but not by yourself." We
have a sincere commitment
to our owners to provide
continued assistance to
help you maximize your
business. Each regional
support office is staffed
by a company Vice President
who has access to technical
and marketing support personnel
to assist you in the operation
of your business.
You will find our support
personnel maintain a high
level of communication,
and offer continuous service
to our franchise owners.
Minuteman Press also holds
regional meetings and conventions
every year to further educate
our owners on new trends
in the industry.
The concept of franchising,
as the working together
between franchisor and
franchisee, has been a
principal ingredient in
the development of Minuteman
Press. Our "Open Door" philosophy
has been instrumental in
establishing Minuteman
Press as one of the leaders
in the franchise industry.
By being a Minuteman Press
franchise owner, you are
part of an international
network of store owners,
as well as being part of
a very unique and exciting
franchise system. Since
we started Minuteman Press
in 1973, we have continuously
worked on not only improving
and refining our procedures,
with items such as computerized
pricing and management
software, but also seeking
out ways to better serve
our franchise owners.
You will share in the
knowledge, continuous research
and development, and on-going
support services made available
to our owners. Communication
and support are of the
utmost importance. As a
Minuteman Press owner,
you will be afforded this
communication and support.
You will find that Minuteman
Press is a people oriented
company; individuals concerned
with our franchise owners.
We provide an opportunity
for you to develop a whole
new way of life and an
opportunity for many of
you to take control of
your future for the first
time. It is an exciting
time for Minuteman Press,
and we hope that you take
part in this stimulating
and challenging franchise
opportunity.
