Danielle Sydnor & Quentin James Celebrate Grand Opening of Minuteman Press Franchise in Downtown Cleveland
On Thursday, October 8, 2026, Danielle Sydnor and Quentin James celebrated the grand opening of Minuteman Press in Downtown Cleveland. They hosted an official ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by an open house that welcomed customers, local business owners, community members, friends, and supporters. The grand opening gave attendees an opportunity to meet Danielle, Quentin, and their team, tour the facility, see printing equipment in action, and learn more about the wide range of products and services offered by Minuteman Press. The celebration marked an exciting new chapter for the business, which Danielle and Quentin purchased and relocated from Elyria to Downtown Cleveland.
Minuteman Press International Regional VP Rich DeRosa attended the grand opening and spoke about the significance of bringing the Minuteman Press brand back to Downtown Cleveland. Rich shares, “The word that comes to mind is legacy, both for the new ownership team and for the region. It has been approximately 20 years since Minuteman Press had a presence in Downtown Cleveland, and continuing the Sydnor family’s printing legacy under the Minuteman Press brand is a win for everyone involved.”
Rich continues, “Quentin and Danielle bring entrepreneurial experience, a commitment to excellence, strong family values, and an impressive dedication to serving the Cleveland business community. Helping them recognize the potential of this opportunity and turn it into something special is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Congratulations to Quentin and Danielle on this exciting new chapter!”
Family Legacy Comes Full Circle
For Danielle, the printing industry has always been part of her life. Her father, Dennis Sydnor Sr., learned the printing trade in Cleveland before he and his wife, Marsha, started MD Printing in their garage in Sacramento, California, during the 1980s. They later returned to Cleveland and established their printing business, where Danielle gained firsthand experience in the family business.
Danielle shares, “Printing is in my blood. My parents built a business that supported our family and taught us what ownership could make possible. Now, to return to the industry in Cleveland, where it all began, and partner with Quentin to build a business that creates opportunities for the next generation is incredibly meaningful.”
That family tradition continues today at Minuteman Press in Downtown Cleveland, where Danielle's sons, Noah Foster and Giles Foster V, work in customer service and sales and production, respectively. Her cousin Kimberly Todd has also joined the team.
Quentin brings his own entrepreneurial background to Minuteman Press. Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, he grew up watching his father build Metro Courier Services from a single pickup truck into a successful delivery business. When the opportunity to purchase a Minuteman Press franchise presented itself, Quentin immediately thought of Danielle and her family's printing background. He shares, “I've been great friends with Danielle for a long time and knew of the legacy of her parents’ printing business. She was my first call when the opportunity came up.”
Serving the Downtown Cleveland Business Community
Danielle and Quentin chose Downtown Cleveland because they believe in the area's continued growth and see an opportunity to make a positive impact on the local business community. Quentin says, “We chose Downtown because the area is in a bit of a renaissance right now, and we want to be a part of that. I would say our specialty is handling the everyday needs of local businesses.”
Danielle emphasizes that providing personalized customer service is a major priority for their business. Rather than relying solely on automated systems, the team takes the time to communicate directly with customers, understand their needs, and help them find the right solutions. Danielle explains, “When you put in a quote request from us, a person is going to actually reach out and call you back, make sure we understand what you're trying to accomplish, and navigate through that process with you.”
Looking to the Future
With their combined backgrounds in printing, entrepreneurship, and marketing, Danielle and Quentin are focused on building lasting relationships with their customers while helping other local businesses succeed. As they look ahead, the owners are excited to continue growing their Minuteman Press business, supporting their community, and creating opportunities for the next generation of their families.
With a successful grand opening behind them, a strong family legacy guiding them, and a commitment to customer service, Danielle and Quentin are ready to make their mark in Downtown Cleveland. Quentin sums up their vision for the future: “We definitely want to be the go-to printer here.”
Anytime you need support or anytime you want help, there is a whole network behind you… When you need them they are right there.
I had enough of working for other people, so I decided to look at franchise opportunities because I really always wanted my own business, from the moment I graduated and throughout my career. I evaluated four franchise systems and it was clear to me that Minuteman Press International was the best one for me based on two primary reasons: 1. Some of the active franchise owners I talked to told me, ‘You’d better like computers;’ and 2. ‘You’d better like marketing.’ So for me, if those are the biggest ‘negatives’ it makes a lot of sense to buy into the Minuteman Press International product
It makes my job easy from a marketing standpoint and from a pricing standpoint. It is really lovely and easy to use.
We were looking to work in our own business, but did not know where to start. We ended up going to a franchise show where we met the folks at Minuteman Press International. They had the most impressive presentation, the best training program, and the most comprehensive support we saw for an affordable franchise. So, we went in that direction and boom—32 years later, here we are!
Becoming a Minuteman Press Franchise owner 10 years ago is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life. I had researched many other companies and different industries for a while, but none of them gave me the level of confidence that I needed to motivate me and move forward that Minuteman Press did. Once my decision was made, and we moved forward with training and opening up my center, they gave me a great solid foundation, and second to none ongoing support to this day. I love my local field representatives; we have a great relationship with Dan Byers and Steve Szymanski. They have my back any day and any time. Our success as owners is their success as well. I came to this beautiful country 33 years ago without a dollar in my pocket, no skills, no academic degrees, no English, not even a high school diploma. Just a young teenager at that time, running away from a very conflicted civil war in El Salvador, looking for a better life. All I can say now is God is great! Thank God for the vision of the founding fathers of this great franchise Minuteman Press International, and the legacy that has been passed on and is reflected through our CEO Bob Titus and the entire team all across the globe.
My favorite part about this industry is the variety and the people. We get to work across so many different industries it's never a dull moment. We work with manufacturers, bakers, churches and even a company that does custom cranes to repair railroads. I love the relationships that we build with our clients as they grow and evolve their businesses.
I bought my Minuteman Press franchise when I was in my 20s. I absolutely love the business model and the expansion into promotional products. Networking comes naturally to me and Minuteman Press is a huge help when it comes to training and support. I also love the camaraderie that I have with other Minuteman Press owners, who are always willing to listen. From corporate to colleagues, we are all in this together, and I couldn’t ask for a better support system.
From the day I started over ten years ago, everything began to move towards digital printing. I knew that Minuteman Press International was following the industry very closely and did their homework on printing trends and innovations. I followed their direction they gave us, and we have extended our business not only into digital printing but also promotional items as well. I am in charge, but I also have all of the resources at the national and local levels thanks to Minuteman Press. We all share ideas and you get the pulse of how other centers do business, and that is very helpful. We are all part of the same franchise family and the owners who I contact are very open and supportive. My advice: Stay within the franchise system, but be who you are. I find satisfaction with Minuteman Press.
I felt that after 27 years of service at my previous job, it was time for me to change careers. After praying and seeking advice, I took a leap of faith and left my job. Once I completed graduate school in 2016 with a degree in management, I felt ready to hone in on what I had learned from school and the skills I had obtained over the years. I wanted to be my own boss and I knew Minuteman Press was the right franchise for what I wanted to do. I was comforted in knowing that Minuteman Press had been around for over 40 years and the company was well-established with a great business model and structure.
I left the retail industry behind for Minuteman Press, which enabled me to work regular Monday through Friday business hours. I also love the short reorder cycle that print provides. When I was working in retail, I would sit in the store and wait for customers to come in. With Minuteman Press, customers will reorder all of their materials faster and I am able to spend my time getting out there and growing my business.
