AlphaGraphics named a 2026 Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review

Recognition is based on independent surveys of the company's owners nationwide

DENVER, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, announced today that it has been named a Franchise Business Review's (FBR) 2026 Top Franchise, an annual ranking that recognizes 200 franchise systems that deliver a strong, consistent experience across support, leadership, and financial opportunity.

"This recognition underscores the strength of our franchise model and the trust our owners place in the AlphaGraphics network," said Bill McPherson, vice president of retail network development at AlphaGraphics. "Our priority is equipping our franchise owners with practical resources, scalable tools, training and ongoing support so they can build successful businesses in their communities. That foundation enables owners to operate more efficiently, grow revenue and adapt to changing market demands."

Unlike awards based on brand awareness or application fees, Franchise Business Review's rankings are determined solely by franchisee satisfaction and system performance. The firm surveys franchise owners directly and evaluates results using standardized benchmarks to ensure credibility and comparability across brands.

AlphaGraphics was one of more than 330 franchise brands representing more than 26,000 franchise owners who participated in Franchise Business Review's 2026 research. Franchisees evaluated their experience across 33 core benchmarks, including training and support, operations, franchisor-franchisee relations, leadership, culture and financial opportunity.

Key findings from AlphaGraphics' franchise survey include:

• 89% of franchisees agree that their fellow franchisees are supportive of each other
• 87% of franchisees agree that they enjoy operating this business
• 90% of franchisees agree that they are supportive of the brand

"Franchisee satisfaction is one of the most reliable indicators of long-term franchise performance," said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. "This year's Top Franchise winners significantly outperformed industry averages, demonstrating strength in the areas that matter most to franchise owners: leadership, support, innovation, culture and financial opportunity. These brands are not just growing; they are building healthy, resilient systems."
