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. QP_12-21_0614 Top100.indd 13 5/15/14 4:33 PM
