MINUTEMAN PRESS
Minuteman Press franchises operate full-service printing and marketing centers that provide digital printing, graphic design, finishing, mailing, advertising specialty items, and related marketing services. Franchisees own and operate these centers using the franchisor's trademarks, proprietary systems, and business model, which includes ongoing royalties and supply options. The target market includes businesses and the general public, competing with independent print shops, other franchises, and large commercial printers.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Historical gross sales data reported by franchisees from 609 U.S. centers during the 2025 calendar year. Excludes data from franchise owners that were not operational for the entire calendar year prior to the study or failed to provide sales reporting data for all twelve months. Cost data is based on a survey of 90 U.S. franchised Centers for the 2025 year.
* Estimated profit range calculated as Average Gross Revenue less the sum of average/median percentages for Cost of Goods Sold and Labor Costs. This represents profit before other unspecified operating expenses. The low estimate uses the average COGS (33.06%) and median Labor (22%) percentages, resulting in an estimated total expense of 55.06% (0.3306 + 0.22) of revenue. The high estimate uses the median COGS (33%) and average Labor (21.59%) percentages, resulting in an estimated total expense of 54.59% (0.33 + 0.2159) of revenue. Calculations: $769,858 * (1 - 0.5506) = $345,974.19 and $769,858 * (1 - 0.5459) = $349,592.52.
