About Us
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. Why Allegra Network?
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. Training and Support
