Female franchise owners report strong satisfaction with the printing and marketing solutions company's leadership training and franchise support
, /PRNewswire/ -- AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, announced today that it is one of only 100 franchise brands recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2026 Top Franchise for Women.
Independent research highlights franchisee satisfaction
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. The firm publishes industry reports throughout the year highlighting research on top franchises across a variety of sectors.
"Being recognized as a top franchise for women reflects the kind of network we work hard to build every day," AlphaGraphics Vice President of Retail Network Development Bill McPherson said. "We focus on giving franchise owners the resources, support and collaborative community they need to grow successful businesses. We're especially proud to see so many women leading centers across our network and making a positive impact in their local communities."
Female franchise owners report strong leadership, training and support
AlphaGraphics was among 320 franchise brands representing nearly 8,550 female franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review's research on the Top Franchises for Women. AlphaGraphics franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training and support, financial opportunity and work-life balance.
"For women exploring the path to business ownership—whether full-time or part-time—franchising opens a world of real, achievable opportunity," said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. "But with a vast landscape of options out there, due diligence is everything. Before committing to any brand, women should take a close look at what current female franchisees are actually experiencing: the quality of training and support, work-life balance, earning potential, company culture, and the strength of leadership. This year's Top Franchises for Women list speaks for itself—88% of female owners say they enjoy operating their business, and three out of four would recommend their franchise to others. That kind of peer validation is invaluable when you're standing at the threshold of a major life decision."
