Texas Entrepreneur Embraces Print and Marketing Franchise

We are excited to announce the newest owners of AlphaGraphics: Mike and Kimberly Ball. The couple and their three sons are proud to represent a business that will help them give back to their community. 

Who Are Mike and Kimberly Ball?

The Ball family lives in Texas, where they are committed to bettering their community and are highly involved in their local church. While Mike has always worked for large companies, he is motivated by helping others solve problems and knew that he wanted to apply his life and work experience to a business that would have an immediate impact on people in his community. 

From the get-go, the Ball family knew that they wanted to invest in a family business where Mike, Kim, and all three of their adult sons could all be involved. Mike, who is a U.S. veteran, is excited to take on a high-level role and give his sons the chance to shine as the faces of the business who are on the ground building relationships every day. 

Why Did the Ball Family Make a Career Change?

While Mike enjoyed many aspects of his corporate career on the operations side of the media industry, he was looking for a way to build generational wealth and a legacy for his family. With the proven plan backing up a franchise concept, franchise ownership seemed like the ideal option to go out on his own without the risk associated with a traditional startup. 

Mike and Kimberly came to FranCoach looking for a faith-based business – but throughout the Discovery Process, they explored a couple of other options to thoroughly vet each concept. Ultimately, they fell in love with the unique value proposition of AlphaGraphics, a print and marketing franchise with a global presence.

Why Will the Ball Family Make Great Franchise Owners?

Throughout their journey to become franchise owners, the Ball family worked with FranCoach’s Katie Lepper to learn more about each brand and receive personalized guidance and support along the way. Here is what Katie has to say about why the Ball family is sure to succeed: 

“Mike and Kim are family-oriented and are excited to be part of building a family business. I know they plan to pass this onto their children one day so that they can continue to build the family legacy. Many people do not think of franchises as family businesses, but they absolutely are – and I am incredibly excited to see this family business thrive under the leadership of this generous couple and their sons.” 

Why Did the Ball Family Choose AlphaGraphics?

AlphaGraphics offers print and marketing franchise opportunities for businesses small and large. The B2B model helps owners support their local economy and make a true community impact in a professional, scalable environment with countless repeat customers. The $81 billion print and marketing industry is here to stay, and AlphaGraphics helps interested franchisees get a foot in the door with brand recognition in this niche market. 

With Mike’s experience in media, he loved the printing side of the business from the get-go. As he learned more about the structure of the business and the owner role, he realized it would be a perfect fit for his family – the staff requirements made it easy to integrate his sons into his business and he will get the chance to support his community, just as he had hoped. Now, it is only a matter of time until the Ball family opens their doors!
