Bob Titus, president and CEO of Minuteman says, "It is a testament to our Minuteman Press franchise owners who follow our tried and proven system, our corporate staff, our regional franchise support teams, and our franchise business model that we are the number one ranked marketing and printing franchise by Entrepreneur in 2018.

"To achieve this rating for 15 consecutive years and 26 times overall shows our continued strength as the leaders of the printing industry with high core values. This is a tremendous accomplishment and honour, and we look forward to continuing to build on our position in the modern printing industry and support our franchise owners in the years to come.”

Minuteman has been operating since 1973, when it was established by Roy Titus and his son Bob. The franchise has 1000 locations across the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The company says it plans to continue expanding this year.

In Australia Minuteman has some 52 stores, located in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and WA. Last year three-store Minuteman Press franchisees Simon Crabtree and Melinda Shilland bought Australia’s first Konica Minolta B2 digital inkjet sheetfed press, the KM-1 and will use it to create a central printing hub for their stores under the Jossimo name.
