Who We’re Looking For

While not just anyone can own a print franchise, if you’ve got business or leadership experience and you’ve been looking for franchise opportunities, you might be the perfect candidate for franchise ownership with Allegra. We also welcome existing print shop owners to join our franchise family and convert to our brand.

Entrepreneurs can hit the ground running by purchasing an independent printing business with our guidance and rebranding it as an Allegra Center through our MatchMaker Program. They may also be able to acquire an existing Allegra franchise that’s now on the market.

If you already own a print shop, with our 35 years of experience, we’ll help you transition your printing business through our Advantage Program. You’ll gain the opportunity for greater sales through our multiple revenue streams while sustaining the legacy of your business.
