## Story

MIDDLE RIVER, Md. - Image360 announced today its plans to expand its North American footprint into new markets across Canada.

“Our parent company, Alliance Franchise Brands, is already well established in Canada and makes expanding Image360 into new Canadian markets a natural next step in our franchising evolution,” said Mike Cline, chief development officer. “We’ve already begun to expand our footprint with new franchise members and centers in Calgary, so we look forward to harvesting that momentum for continued growth as the demand for signage continues to skyrocket as the Canadian economy and local businesses continue to reopen safely amid the pandemic.”

Alluring factors, such as low cost of living, access to a variety of government grants and tax credits as well as a favourable exchange rate, continue to propel the brand’s growth strategy beyond the border. Today, Image360 has four locations in Canada, two in Calgary as well as Markham and Windsor.

“From the very beginning of our conversations with the Image360 business development team to the opening of our center and to this day, my wife and I have been provided with all of the tools and support necessary to run our center successfully,” said Vladimir Iglesias, co-owner of the Image360 Calgary North centre alongside his wife Tanzilia. “We have now been open for just over five months, and despite the restrictions imposed by local and federal governments due to COVID-19, we are ramping up our activity level and revenue. We are very excited about the future of our business and feel confident we’ll continue to succeed with the backing of the Image360 headquarters team.”
