TL;DR
Minuteman Press in Johnston, RI celebrates 25 years with an open house event. The event was held to commemorate the location's milestone and featured refreshments, promotional items, and a special coupon for attendees.
To commemorate the Johnston location’s 25 years, Kim held an Open House Event on April 1, 2024. The event included refreshments provided by local vendors and was attended by community members and colleagues. Kim shares, “It was great to say hello to new and familiar faces and allow people to meet our staff and learn how we could help serve their business needs.”
For the event, Kim provided attendees with promotional items such as mugs, shirts, hats, pens, and notepads. She says, “It’s always great to be able to give something to prospects and clients while showing them what we can do with promotional products and custom branded apparel.” In addition, as part of her shop’s 25-year celebration throughout the year, Kim has been offering a special coupon of $25 off any order of $250 or more. The coupon was given to those who attended the event and has been advertised in local newspapers as well.
The following excerpt from a local article published in The Johnston Sun Rise said it best:
“When a business has endured and prospered for twenty-five years, one might wonder, what is the secret to its success? The obvious things come to mind: Superior customer service. Consistent, quality workmanship. Reliability and dependability. Energetic and experienced employees. Keeping current on industry trends. And finally, don’t forget the hard work, sacrifice, and devotion of the key people ~ the owners and their staff.
If ever there was an explanation for the longevity and vitality of local business Minuteman Press, it would be that it possesses all these attributes. Celebrating twenty-five years at its current location, this is a business that has survived a worldwide pandemic, an economy that fluctuates like the New England weather, and rivalry from big box competitors. Today, it is still going strong!

On the feature article, Kim shares, “It was a real honor to be featured in our local newspaper leading up to the Open House Event. I’ve been working in the printing industry since I was 15 years-old and I just love what I do. To help other businesses with custom design work, marketing, and of course, printing, means so much to me.”
