AlphaGraphics moving HQ to Denver

AlphaGraphics, a business services franchising company founded in Salt Lake City in 1970, will move its corporate headquarters to Denver before the end of 2018, according to Ryan Farris, president and chief operating officer of the company.

{mprestriction ids="1,3"}“We have made the strategic business decision to be in the Greater Denver metro area,” said Farris. “We are reviewing specific location alternatives and expect to make a final decision shortly.” AlphaGraphics will relocate or replace about 50 headquarters employees.

AlphaGraphics currently has approximately 250 independently owned AlphaGraphics Business Centers in the U.S., including nine in Colorado. The company is focused on growing its network of business service centers in the U.S., Farris said.

AlphaGraphics considered several U.S. cities for the headquarters relocation, according to Farris. He didn’t give a reason for the company’s decision to leave Salt Lake City.

“The Denver area has excellent air transportation connections, a highly skilled labor force and other impressive characteristics to support the company’s growth plans,” said Paolo Fiorelli, chairman and CEO of MBE Worldwide, which acquired AlphaGraphics in October.
