(#9), a single-shop location in sub-
urban Chicago, dropped down three
spots but still had sales of nearly $11
million. Jumping up to the tenth slot
(from #23) is Raintree Graphics of Jack-
sonville, FL, which has experienced
dramatic growth: sales of $10.5 million
last year: an increase of more than 60
percent (see percentage growth chart).
The other 90 entrants all posted sales
below the $10 million mark. John
Tatham's PIP franchise in Anchorage,
Alaska (#28), featured sales of more
than $5.7 million in 2013, but that
number actually was down about 2.5
percent. Allen Printing in Nashville
(#11) surpassed $9 million in sales last
year, marking a 23 percent increase over
2012's $7.37 million, which represented
more than a 29 percent jump over 2011,
when the firm came in at #30.
Sale Per Employee
While total sales are telling, sales per
employee is more of a clue to profitabil-
ity. The vast majority of our Top 100
firms fall into the $100,000 to $200,000
per employee range. Plum Grove Print-
ers (#41), Hoffman Estates, IL, exceed-
ed this average, posting 2013 sales of
$226,000 for each of its 20 employees.
Insight Communication (#43), Bounti-
ful, UT, enjoyed per-employee sales of
$278,000 (16 employees). Some super-
star performers include:
#42 Press Sure Printing, Minneapolis,
has 13 employees, each of whom aver-
aged $347,000 in sales in 2013. #100
Five Star Printing, Denham Springs,
FL, had total sales of $2.37 million
but only employs three people. That
comes out to a healthy $790,000 per.
#55 Allesk Enterprises, Traverse City,
MI, also only has three employees. But
its sales approach $4 million, trans-
lating to a whopping $1.3 million
per. Nobody got close to #3 Connolly
Printing when it came to sales per its
10 employees, each whom averaged an
incredible $1.8 million.
