Alliance Franchise Brands Accelerates Growth in Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY – As communities across North America continue reopening in the wake of COVID-19, Alliance Franchise Brands and its family of marketing, print, signs and graphics brands is aiming to meet increased demand in Salt Lake City with a dynamic franchise initiative

“As more small businesses reopen in Salt Lake City, we’re seeing an increased need for print, signs and graphics to communicate new safety protocols for businesses due to COVID-19. Our growth strategy for Salt Lake City is built around meeting that need,” said Mike Cline, vice president of franchise development for Alliance Franchise Brands. “Not only do our franchisees help other businesses recover and rebound from the pandemic with print and graphic solutions, we’re also offering entrepreneurs in Salt Lake City the ability to take control of their careers in a high-demand industry, and leverage the support and expertise of our adept network.”


Alliance’s print marketing mail brands and signs and graphics concepts have been providing safety and social distancing signage and personal protective equipment (PPE) like face shields, sneeze guards and masks for businesses. Franchise locations have also been offering custom reopening resources, including guidelines with a checklist methodology and steps on how to safely reopen.Alliance is targeting Salt Lake City as a strategic growth market for two of its franchise brands – Allegra Marketing Print Mail, a world leader in marketing and visual communications, and Image360, the industry’s first total visual communications solutions provider with hundreds of locations across North America.

Alliance offers prospective franchise members for Allegra and Image360 three avenues to ownership: new ownership, conversion of an independent existing signage or print business to an Image360 or Allegra center, or the addition of an Allegra or Image360 center to a print or any other industry-related business to expand service offerings. Each option is specifically tailored to allow qualified entrepreneurs to enter a stable, steadily growing industry with a business-focused concept that provides the ability to make a true impact on clients.

“Throughout the pandemic, our franchise owners have been the all-hands-on-deck partner for small businesses across North America and we are looking forward to helping entrepreneurs in Salt Lake City support their business community with needed print, signs and graphics support,” added Cline. “Because of the long-standing relationships our franchisees build in their communities, they are the first ones that businesses have been turning to for advice on how to reopen and what signs, graphics and print materials they need to thrive in this unique environment. The signs and print industries have shown themselves to be essential in Salt Lake City and we’re looking forward to helping more small businesses recover in the post-COVID world.”
