Established in 1976, our company began franchising in 1977 and adopted the Allegra Network corporate name in 2000. Of more than 3,000 global franchisors, Allegra Network is ranked within the world's top 150 franchisors by Franchise Times magazine. Among business-to-business opportunities, Allegra ranks even closer to the top and has for decades.
Allegra launched the Allegra franchise brand name in 1996 and has transitioned many franchise members who previously operated under the American Speedy Printing Centers name to the new brand. In 2002, the company acquired the Insty-Prints franchise chain and many of these centers have also transitioned to the Allegra brand.
In 2005, Allegra acquired the Signs Now franchise chain. This acquisition was consistent with the company's strategy to grow while remaining focused on the marketing and graphic communications industry with a business that integrates creative development with production services.
Annual system-wide sales for Allegra Network in 2009 were just under $300 million.
