June 04, 2024 // Franchising.com // PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - This coming September, Dennis and Phyllis Beck will be celebrating 33 years in business for their Minuteman Press franchise in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. First opening in 1991, Dennis and Phyllis have remained steady and consistent over the years by following the Minuteman Press system. They have built their business by providing outstanding quality and service that generates referrals; marketing and online advertising; making key acquisitions and equipment purchases; and treating their employees right.
Today, Dennis and Phyllis are being celebrated for their longevity, reliability, and for their success in becoming two of the newest members of the Minuteman Press International President’s Club for achieving $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2023. Doing the little things right just shows that all of their hard work has paid off. Minuteman Press in Palm Beach Gardens located at 4404 Northlake Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410.
Dennis reflects, “Before Minuteman Press, I practiced law for about 20 years and burned out. I sold my practice to my partners. My wife Phyllis and I are avid golfers and wanted to move from Long Island to Florida for the warmth and lifestyle. We stayed on Long Island for a year or so until our children were out of school. We decided that we wanted to work together and do something different. I did some research and found some ads for Minuteman Press. The corporate office was in Farmingdale and we lived in Plainview.”
Dennis continues, “After contacting Minuteman Press, we met with Roy Titus, Jim Galasso, and Jeff Robey, and the rest was history. We bought a small shop in North Palm Beach and we were off and running. We liked the Minuteman concept of business to business and the fact that they had local VPs who would help us get going.”
“The support from Minuteman Press has always been exceptional. The fact that Minuteman has local VPs was of great value both 33 years ago and today. If you have an issue or need advice, you get immediate attention. Minuteman also has great relationships with various vendors that have saved us considerable sums. MPIHQ is always innovating, testing new equipment and exposing its franchisees to new areas of growth.” - Dennis Beck, Owner, Minuteman Press, Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Dennis shares the following keys to growth over the years and explains why Minuteman Press in Palm Beach Gardens is poised to keep building their momentum following their induction into the President’s Club:
Dennis adds, “Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and Riviera Beach are our main areas of attraction. These areas are growing by leaps and bounds. West of Palm Beach Gardens, a community of 5,000 homes is being built. Although we deal mainly with b2b, the growth of residential homes fuels business growth. So, I see us growing even more.”
Dennis recently accepted the President’s Club Award from Nick Titus, President, Minuteman Press International, at the franchisor’s President’s Club Meeting on May 16, 2024. He accepted the award on behalf of himself and Phyllis.
When asked about the benefits of business ownership, Dennis shares, “The biggest benefit to owning your own business is that your success depends on you. You won't lose your job because some company you work for decides to downsize or goes out of business. You make your own decisions and with Minuteman Press, you have the help and support of a great franchise to lead you down the right path.”
Dennis continues, “I go to work every day; I plan my day; I see customers; I answer calls and quote jobs… I really love what I do.”
His advice for others is this: “The best advice I can give is simple: Work the business every day. Make things happen. Don't sit back… go out and get it. This not a business where you put a sign up and people will come. Use all the tools that Minuteman Press World HQ gives you. This franchise has been successful since 1975 and continues to be... That says it all.”
