Cartridge World North America, the world's largest specialty retailer of ink and toner printer cartridges, launched a new franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs. The company is offering a mobile franchise, Cartridge World Express, as a new direct delivery service for business customers.

The new mobile opportunity creates a flexible lifestyle for entrepreneurs who excel at business-to-business product and service sales. The direct delivery approach also provides a new level of customer convenience, providing sales and service for printers, ink, toner and supplies.

Similar to Cartridge World's 600 North American retail stores, the mobile business offers more than 400 ink and toner products -- at a significant savings -- for every major brand of printer, copier, facsimile or postage machine.

"Cartridge World Express is a perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs who have an appetite to build a business. This is an $80 billion industry," said Frank Case, President of Cartridge World North America. "This opportunity requires a relatively low investment and is ideal for entrepreneurs who envision owning a fleet of delivery vans to service several communities or seek to open a brick and mortar at a later time."

The Cartridge World Express mobile business opportunity requires a total investment of less than $125,000. This allows single- or multiple-territory ownership for entrepreneurs. A custom-branded Cartridge World Express van is the owner's mobile office, delivery vehicle and billboard.

"This new business opportunity will meet the needs of consumers in new locations across the country, while helping the company reach its annual growth projections," Case added.

The Cartridge World product line meets a universal need of every business organization -- helping companies print documents. At up to 30-40 percent savings off the cost of full-priced OEM cartridges, the company's line of printer ink and toner helps businesses save thousands of dollars annually.

Cartridge World Express provides a valuable business proposition. The company:

 -- Sells printer cartridges at tremendous savings
-- Provides free delivery to business customers
-- Offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee with its products
-- Provides eco-friendly solutions with its remanufactured and recyclable products
-- Is locally owned and operated, and active in each community.

The mobile business also expands Cartridge World's mission -- reducing millions of printer cartridges that are thrown away annually and end up in landfills by offering refilled and remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. In addition, Cartridge World supports recycling at every store, and provides cartridge recycling and fundraising programs for schools, businesses and non-profit organizations.

Cartridge World operates more than 600 stores across the U.S. and Canada, and is consistently named No. 1 in the industry by Entrepreneur Magazine.
