EmbroidMe Signs Master Franchise Agreement in Canada

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EmbroidMe, the world's largest embroidery franchise, announced today the signing of a Master Franchise agreement with Stuart Erskine for development in Canada over the next several years. The company is poised to rapidly expand throughout the country, with an initial focus in Alberta and Ontario.

Prior to EmbroidMe, Erskine recently signed a Master Franchisee agreement for Billboard Connection, a leading full service outdoor advertising agency.  He also currently owns and operates Magnetsigns, a sign promotional and advertising franchise, which has more than 140 locations throughout Canada.

"We are very excited to welcome Stuart Erskine into the EmbroidMe system," said Mark Johnson, President of EmbroidMe. "Stuart brings with him several years of experience in the franchising industry, which will enable him to grow the EmbroidMe brand across Canada."

With nearly 400 locations across the U.S., Canada and Australia, EmbroidMe is the largest embroidery franchise that specializes in full-service custom embroidery and screen-printing for apparel, as well as promotional products and gifts to both private and commercial segments. As part of its aggressive growth strategy, EmbroidMe is seeking to expand its presence in markets across the U.S. and in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, France, United Kingdom and Germany.

To fuel this growth, the company is looking for specific franchise candidates seeking to be a part of a $20 billion industry and who also have the desire to learn and follow a system that ensures value and customer satisfaction. Qualified franchisee candidates should have business sales or management experience, but no formal franchising background is necessary.

"I am thrilled to start this new business venture and add yet another successful franchise concept to my portfolio," said Erskine. "I plan to leverage my years of experience in running and operating a successful franchise system to expand EmbroidMe's presence across Canada and drive the business forward."

Since its inception, EmbroidMe has offered full-service promotional options to both small and large businesses.  EmbroidMe currently has more than 800,000 promotional products designed to help businesses build their brand and make lasting impressions.
