AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, has been named to Entrepreneur Magazine's list of Top Global Franchises for 2021. The franchise came in at No. 174.

Earlier this year, AlphaGraphics ranked in the Franchise 500^®, the world's first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Inclusion in both the highly competitive Franchise 500^® and the global franchise list highlights the company's commitment to providing best-in-class service at its more than 285 worldwide locations.

"The past year has been tumultuous, to say the least," said Bill McPherson, vice president of franchise development. "Through it all, we have remained committed to our customers all around the world. Being recognized as a top franchise just cements for us that we are focusing on the right things."

Entrepreneur determines its global rankings based on a formula similar to the one used for the Franchise 500^®. However, in the global ranking, international size and growth are weighed more heavily. Other evaluation criteria include costs and fees, franchisee support, brand strength and financial strength and stability.

"We are proud of all that we've accomplished so far," McPherson said. "We couldn't do it without our amazing team of partners all around the world. We're looking forward to another successful year as we maintain our focus on delivering value for our customers."

AlphaGraphics was founded in 1970, and the company began offering franchise opportunities in 1979. For more information, visit http://www.alphagraphics.com.
