Allegra Network® LLC, one of
the world's largest printing franchises, announced the relocation
of its world headquarters from Troy to Northville, Michigan.
The move is part of the company's growth strategy, offering
numerous advantages in the organization's expansion.
Allegra Network's new location offers a prominent new site,
great accessibility to and from the airport and freeways, in
addition to larger presentation rooms. The company's new office
space now allows for bigger meetings that were previously held
off-site. Steve White, executive vice-president explained, "We
are very excited about the new opportunities our relocation
has created. Our new office is close to several major freeways,
making travel for franchise members and other visitors much
more convenient. Plus, now we can hold more training programs
and meetings at our company headquarters, facilitating greater
communication between our franchise members and staff."
Allegra Network will be holding its second Strategic Management
Course for its top owners at its new location in July. The company
first teamed up with the National Association for Printing Leadership
(NAPL) to offer the course at NAPL's Management Institute at
Northwestern University's Norris Center in Evanston, Illinois
last year.
Selecting a brand new site gave Allegra Network the opportunity
to create an atmosphere all its own. The new office space truly
represents the brand identity of Allegra Network, sophisticated
and professional, yet colorful and fun. Red, orange, yellow
and purple - vibrant colors from the stylized "A"
of the Allegra Network and Allegra Print & Imaging logos
colorfully accent the office and pop against the black and gray
backgrounds. President Carl Gerhardt explained, "It feels
like a new day at Allegra Network. We have a new sense of commitment
to our mission, 'To enhance the value of the businesses we serve.'
We are committed to a new beginning and have created a new sense
of urgency to serving the needs of our franchise members."
At the company's first staff meeting held in the new building,
Gerhardt introduced a new concept, reaffirming Allegra Network's
mission, called "The Allegra Archway to Success."
From the company's "foundation" to its "building
blocks," each element of the archway is symbolic of Allegra
Network's commitment to its core values: |
|
|
| |
|
•
To have respect for the individual
• Go the extra mile
• Be quick to respond
• Attack the market
• Aim high and play
fair |
|
| |
|
| |
"Trained and stimulated, high caliber employees"
bridge the pillars of the arch together to form the cap stone.
"It takes a trained and motivated team to accomplish our
mission," Gerhardt commented, "our staff is that and
more." The Allegra Archway concept is especially quite
appropriate now since there are six large, white arches in the
middle of Allegra Network's new office complex.
Allegra Network is located at 21680 Haggerty Road, Northville,
Michigan, 48167. With more than 450 locations in North America
and Japan, the company supports seven brands including Allegra
Print & Imaging, American Speedy Printing,
Insty-Prints, Quik Print, Speedy Printing and Zippy Print. The
company was ranked the best in its industry and the 20th fastest
growing franchise according to Entrepreneur Magazine (2003).
Allegra Network was also rated the 54th best franchise in the
Franchise 500® based on the company's financial strength,
stability, growth rate and size. Its independently-owned franchises
specialize in full-service print and graphic communications.
Principal shareholders include members of Allegra Network management
and Domino's Pizza founder and former CEO Thomas S. Monaghan. |
