FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Minuteman Press International, the world’s largest and #1 rated marketing and printing franchise, has been named a 2018 Top Franchise for Women by independent franchise market research firm Franchise Business Review.
Minuteman Press International was among 240 franchise brands representing nearly 6,000 female franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Minuteman Press 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.
“At Minuteman Press, we are proud of our franchise system as well as our core values. It is fantastic to see that our female franchise owners provided direct feedback to Franchise Business Review that puts Minuteman Press on their 2018 Top Franchises for Women list,” says Bob Titus, Minuteman Press International President & CEO.
Why Amazon And Rival Retailers Are Uniting To Defend The U.S. Postal Service

Amazon and the National Retail Federation, the top retail trade group representing retailers including Walmart and Target, have joined with other individual retailers and businesses to create the Package Coalition, a lobbying group seeking to educate and give facts about the state of the USPS’s package business.
The news of the advocacy group came ahead of a report expected to be released this week from a task force President Trump created in an April executive order to study the money-losing U.S. Postal Service for possible reform. Trump has also publicly attacked Amazon in many tweets, including calling the USPS Amazon’s “delivery boy” and suggesting without any evidence that the special rate break that Amazon and other package shippers got led to the USPS’s loss.
“Here are the realities of the Postal Service’s packaged business: It is one of the very few bright spots of the U.S. Postal Service,” John McHugh, chairman of The Package Coalition, said in an interview, adding that while the USPS in aggregate has posted losses, the package segment contributed $7 billion to its bottom line last year. “All of our members provide solid financial footing to the Postal Service. The last thing you want to talk about is disrupting one of the few bright spots of the Postal Service.”
