Two Great Ways To Be In Business For Yourself,
But Not By Yourself

Do You Want to Own a Business in a Smaller Market?
We Have the Franchise that Fits!

If you are considering the promising opportunity of opening a new franchise in a small town or adding a potential revenue stream to your current business, Allegra Network might have the perfect franchise for you.

Our Digital Print Center (DPC) is designed to be a low-investment franchise that meets the growing digital printing, signage and mailing service demands of businesses located in small markets.

Let our nationally recognized franchise show you how to lease or purchase equipment at the right price, help you place your center in a growing market with few competitors and reduce facility costs with our modular design.

The Allegra Print & Imaging DPC offers you many benefits to ownership, including a business-to-business franchise that has state-of-the-art equipment, a proven marketing plan, a strong repeat customer base, few employees to manage and no weekend or evening hours. You can start a DPC with as little as US$40,000 in liquid assets and a net worth of just over US$200,000. Let our DPC improve the way you work and live; contact us at Allegra Network today!

Why Start a Business From Scratch? Give Yourself a Head Start! 

Let Allegra Network help you purchase an existing independent printing business and convert it to an Allegra Print & Imaging branded center. With a defined market share, cash flow and customer base, our Conversion Print Center (CPC) offers you a distinct advantage over most start-up franchises.

We have helped our franchise members purchase over 160 independent printing businesses over the last 10 years. Should you choose to enter into a franchise relationship with Allegra Network, we will help you find and purchase a qualified printing business at the right price, council you on facility upgrades, teach you how to manage the location and provide you with ongoing technical, field and telephone support. This will provide you with the tools you’ll need to take your printing business to the next level.

Our CPC is a business-to-business franchise that has a handful of employees to manage, does not require weekend or evening hours, and whose small base of core customers traditionally lead to 80 percent of the center’s sales. This makes the CPC an easy business to own and operate.

Our traditional conversion centers offer full-service printing and graphic communications services, including full-color printing, graphic design, digital-color printing, signs, mailing services and more! Let our CPC improve the way you work and live; contact us today for more information!

A History of Excellence and Leadership You Can Count On!

Allegra Network, formerly American Speedy Printing Centers, Inc., was founded in 1976 and began franchising in 1977. As one of the largest printing and sign franchises in the world, Allegra Network links more than 600 locations in the United States, Canada, and Japan. January 2004 marked the 20th year that Allegra Network has ranked among Entrepreneur Magazine’s Annual Franchise 500 ®, an honor that only a select group of franchisors have been awarded.

Our success comes as no surprise to others in franchising. It starts at the top with a strong management team that reads like a who’s who list within the printing industry and franchising world. Carl Gerhardt, our president, is a seasoned veteran and former chairman of Print Image International (PII). Under the leadership of Bill McIntyre, our CEO and chairman, we have successfully merged over 350 franchise units into Allegra Network. Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino’s Pizza, is our chief financial investor and is well-known throughout franchising for his ability to grow and manage franchise systems.

A Strong Support Team in the Field and in the Home Office!

Allegra Network has more than 50 corporate and 15 regional staff members providing training and ongoing support in all facets of the business. Trained professionals regionally located throughout North America, function as business consultants to help franchise members increase sales, maintain higher levels of profitability and improve overall operations.
