FARMINGDALE, N.Y. - Minuteman Press International, the world's largest design, printing, and marketing franchise, has been named to the Franchise Direct Top 100 Global Franchises for 2017 list. The Franchise Direct rankings were generated using a formula designed to be as objective as possible, incorporating a host of criteria including, but not limited to: system size, franchise longevity, and support methods for franchisees. The Minuteman Press franchise was found to demonstrate these qualities.

"We are thrilled to be recognized by Franchise Direct as a top global franchise of 2017," says Bob Titus, Minuteman Press International President and CEO. He adds, "This is especially rewarding because these rankings take into account the longevity of our business model that has been tried, proven, and refined for over 40 years as well as the high level of ongoing support we have provided to our owners since we started franchising in 1975."

Titus concludes, "Today, our franchise has grown to nearly 1,000 locations across five countries, and we wouldn't be able to receive such high rankings without our owners and their dedication to our system."

As a top global franchise, Minuteman Press International offers key benefits for owners in addition to providing full training and ongoing local support. Because target customers are other businesses, Minuteman Press B2B franchises typically operate on a Monday-Friday schedule during normal business hours. This enables owners the potential to spend quality time with their families at nights and on weekends. Also, since many business owners use print in their operations and also seek out ways to market and grow their businesses, Minuteman Press products and services are able to help fill those essential needs of today's business professionals.
