Toronto, Canada , AlphaGraphics announced plans to expand its printing and marketing franchise across the Canadian provinces. The company is immediately seeking master licence or area franchisee agreements with experienced entrepreneurs who can play a key role in the brand’s growth. “Canada is home to a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and small,business owners, making it a natural fit for AlphaGraphics,” said vice president of franchise development Bill McPherson. “We are eager to bring AlphaGraphics’ full suite of business solutions to Canadian companies while creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs.”
AlphaGraphics’ parent company Fortidia has used similar models successfully in international markets, where local development partners support franchise operations across large regions. “We believe Canada has the potential for more than 110 franchise locations nationally and look forward to partnering with strategic partners by province or for the entire country,” McPherson added.
Key partners will have prior experience owning and building successful enterprises, infrastructure and teams. Franchise experience is a plus but not mandatory. “We are looking for partners with strong business acumen, leadership experience and a passion for success,” McPherson said. “Our master licence model offers the opportunity to build a substantial regional business while supporting the success of franchise owners throughout their territory.”
The initiative follows a period of strong growth for AlphaGraphics, which reported a 36% increase in franchise development activity from 2024 to 2025. The company currently operates locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, Saudi Arabia and Spain.
