Our Franchisees
Meet Instant Imprints Franchise Owners
Instant Imprints takes pride in our network of franchisees. These local owners bring experience, creativity, customer service, and community involvement to the brand.
Across the system, our owners serve businesses, schools, teams, organizations, and local customers who want to become more visible. They do that through custom t-shirts, branded apparel, signs and banners, promotional products, and print services.
Below are a few stories from franchisees in our system.
Karen and Noel Eustace - Fredericton, NB, Canada
Karen and Noel Eustace have been part of the Instant Imprints system since October 2011. Noel serves as the Area Franchisee for Atlantic Canada.
Their business helps companies, groups, and organizations increase market visibility. They do this by developing branding and image solutions around each customer’s business and marketing plans.
With many years of executive-level sales and marketing experience, Noel brings a strong business background to the brand. He is also a long-standing and active member of Rotary.
Karen brings years of customer support, service, design, and front-line retail experience. Together, they have also spent much of their free time coaching hockey, volunteering, and sailing when time allows.
Susie and Glen Ellison - Little Rock, AR
Glen and Susie Ellison always looked forward to being in business together one day. Glen spent 40 years in the supermarket industry as a store manager, district manager, and area vice president. Susie built her career as a realtor.
They worked hard in those careers with the goal of eventually working together. In March 2008, they opened their Instant Imprints franchise.
Susie oversaw operations from the beginning. Glen later joined the business full time, which expanded their ability to manage marketing, operations, and customer development.
Their efforts helped the business grow. Glen explains the importance of that growth this way: “The more Instant Imprints grows, the more valuable our franchise becomes. We are always seeking to grow the value of the business.”
