After successfully converting Alloy Printing to Minuteman Press in White Plains, Chris grew the business and joined the Minuteman Press International President’s Club for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2024. Following his success in White Plains, Chris purchased another long-running independent business, Printcraft, which also operated for over 40 years. Chris completed the acquisition in March of 2024 and merged the business into to his second Minuteman Press franchise in Mamaroneck, NY. For both locations, Chris has already surpassed several key sales milestones and in 2025 he was awarded the Region’s Top Marketing Award by Minuteman Press International Regional VP Jim Galasso. On his experience with Minuteman Press, Chris shares, “The training and support from Minuteman Press has been great. The training helped me develop a solid base of knowledge on how to operate a print business. When I’ve needed support in terms of learning or ramping up my marketing, my RVP Jim Galasso and the entire team have been great in giving me direction. It has been a positive experience all the way around.” Regional VP Jim Galasso says, “Following his purchase of Alloy Printing, Chris has grown the center into a Million-dollar business. The business was well-run for 45 years and Chris built on that success by expanding products, particularly growing his apparel product lines. For his success in Mamaroneck, Chris credits the acquisition of 40-year-old business Printcraft and his continued networking to be a big part of his overall growth. At both locations, Chris has made a solid investment in the Internet Marketing Program and is also a firm believer in face-to-face marketing. He also credits his staff for their dedication, which allows him to work on building the business.” Prior to buying his two businesses, Chris worked in corporate advertising, sales, and marketing. At the time he first joined Minuteman Press and purchased Alloy Printing, Chris shared, “The three biggest reasons I chose to buy Alloy Printing and transition to Minuteman Press are: - My desire to be a business owner and move out of the corporate world; - I look at the printing industry as an offshoot to what I was doing in my advertising career; - The quality of my experience in learning about Minuteman Press and Alloy Printing.” Jim concludes, “On behalf of Minuteman Press International, I congratulate Chris on his continued growth. Well done!” Minuteman Press is the world's largest & number 1 rated printing & marketing franchise. Our business model features multiple revenue streams, a high repeat business factor, normal hours of operation, a royalty cap and much more! ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - General (sector) - business growth (topic) - marketing strategy (topic) - Minuteman Press (company) - franchise acquisition (topic) - printing industry (topic) - Jim Galasso (person) - Chris Greene (person) - Alloy Printing (company) - Printcraft (company) - Mary Jane Goldman (person) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20251016_minuteman_press_franchise_owner_chris_greene_thrives_after_buying_two_over_.html).
