Minuteman Press / SprintPrint

Ownership

The Madison location was sold by the original owner Phil Van Kampen to the Kenney family in 2022 and converted to a Minuteman Press franchise, with the family also owning a Minuteman Press location in Waunakee since 2013. This makes it a locally-owned franchise rather than a corporate chain.

Local Sourcing

Minuteman Press franchises have access to mass purchasing power through the corporate network enabling owners to receive outstanding prices from vendors and suppliers. Equipment and supplies appear to flow through national/corporate supply chains rather than local sourcing arrangements.

Community Involvement

The Kenney family supports local schools, churches, non-profits and sports teams and are active members and on the board of the Waunakee Chamber of Commerce, Sun Prairie Chamber of Commerce, Madison Chamber of Commerce also in good standing membership in the Lions Club and Rotary. This demonstrates significant community involvement.

Local Workforce

Employee reviews for Minuteman Press locations report management challenges, with comments about toxic management and shouting from management at employees. However, the original business retained employees with 12 staff members, at least half with over 20 years tenure.

Revenue Retention

A Minuteman Press franchise has an ongoing royalty fee of 6% of monthly gross sales with no additional marketing fee. This means a significant portion of revenue flows to corporate headquarters, though the local owner retains the remainder for reinvestment in the local business.

Local Presence

The site includes local address and phone number, but 'Minuteman Press' is a national franchise system with heavy template-based corporate language ('Design and Print It Your Way!', 'Set as My Store' selector). No owner names, local supplier references, or personality-driven copy present; boilerplate marketing language dominates.
