## Story

Alliance Franchise Brands today announced that two of its brands, Allegra Marketing Print Mail and Image360, have been named to Entrepreneur’s 2026 list of Top Franchises for Veterans. The recognition marks the fourth consecutive year both brands have earned a spot on the list.

## Ranking and growth

Allegra Marketing Print Mail ranked No. 53, up from No. 60 in 2025, while Image360 ranked No. 69, up from No. 85 in 2025. Both brands offer veterans 50% off the initial franchise fee through VetFran, the International Franchise Association’s initiative that opens doors to franchise ownership for veterans through resources and incentive programs.

“Being recognized by Entrepreneur for the fourth year in a row reflects our continued commitment to creating opportunities for veterans,” said Mike Marcantonio, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Franchise Brands. “We’re proud to provide veterans with a pathway to business ownership and the tools, training and support to build businesses in the communities they call home.”

## Veteran incentives

More than 600 companies applied to be considered for Entrepreneur’s annual ranking of the top franchises for veterans. To determine the top 150 from that pool, Entrepreneur evaluated their systems based on several factors, including the incentives they offer veterans (such as franchise fee discounts), how many of their units are owned by veterans, whether they offer any franchise giveaways or contests for veterans, whether they have any veterans on their leadership team, and more. The ranking also took into account each company’s 2026 Franchise 500 score, which is based on an analysis of 150-plus data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

"Veterans come to franchising with critical skills: They already understand systems, they know how to lead, and they don't walk away when things get difficult,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “The brands on this list recognize that, and they put real incentives behind it. For anyone leaving military service and thinking about business ownership, this is where the search should begin."

## Industry context

Alliance Franchise Brands supports a network of over 450 locations across the United States and Canada. The company’s portfolio includes Allegra Marketing Print Mail, Image360, Signs By Tomorrow, Signs Now, KKP, Insty-Prints, American Speedy Printing and True Install.
