Minuteman Press Franchise Owner Daniel Hsu Celebrates One Year in Covina, CA

February 23, 2026

Minuteman Press Covina CA Dan Hsu - Landscape.jpg

Daniel Hsu is the owner of Minuteman Press in Covina, CA since February of 2025. As he celebrates one year in business, Daniel shares his journey to Minuteman Press as well as his thoughts on the training and ongoing support provided by Minuteman Press International. He also talks about attending his first Minuteman Press World Expo last summer and what it means to support local businesses in Covina.

Journey to Minuteman Press: “I was actively searching for a business opportunity when I came across Dan Byers’ listing for the Covina location. What ultimately sold me were two key things: the incredible level of support offered by the franchisor—especially in hiring, marketing, and acquisitions; and the strong sense of community among Minuteman Press owners.”

Training & Support: “Minuteman Press International Regional VP Dan Byers and Area Manager Damien Neitzke have been incredibly understanding and accommodating every step of the way. We also had the chance to meet many of the Southern California owners at the World Expo, which was an amazing experience. The energy, encouragement, and willingness to share advice was truly motivating for us.”

World Expo: “If I had known how impactful the World Expo would be, it might have been the deciding factor in choosing Minuteman Press! It far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I gained tremendous value from the seminars, vendor exhibits, and—most importantly—the networking opportunities. Talking with experienced owners and exchanging ideas was incredibly inspiring.”

Marketing: “The Internet Marketing Program has been the most effective by far. We’re only a few months in and we’ve already seen noticeable growth. That said, we’re also beginning to ramp up our Direct Marketing efforts, which we just ramped up in September. We are excited to see where it takes us.”

Supporting Local Businesses: “We feel like we are just getting started as we focus on building relationships locally. One thing I’m proud of is how we’ve started to win over our local City Office. After stepping in to handle a few tight, same-day turnaround jobs, they’ve been coming back with more projects. That kind of trust is something we’re excited to build on.”

Final Thoughts: “The level of support is unlike anything I’ve seen with other franchises. What really stands out is how personal it feels; you’re not treated like just another number. We’re referred to as owners, and they always call us by name. That sense of belonging and recognition means a lot. Although we’re still new, we have high expectations for our future growth, and we’re confident we’ll get there with the continued support of the Minuteman Press community. We’ve seen so many success stories among owners, and we’re excited to be part of this journey.”

Minuteman Press Success Stories

Minuteman Press Testimonials

Anytime you need support or anytime you want help, there is a whole network behind you… When you need them they are right there.

Michael & Lindsey Weber, Owner Since 2004 (Enfield, CT & Springfield, MA)

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

Sedrick Tydus, Owner Since 2013 (Oakland, CA)

It makes my job easy from a marketing standpoint and from a pricing standpoint. It is really lovely and easy to use.

Renee Mansour, Owner Since 2015 (Bend, OR)

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!

Mark Calis, Owner Since 1986 (Washington, DC)

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.

Manny Castro, Owner Since 2007 (Downey, CA)

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.

Samantha & Brad Wagner, Owner Since 2014 (Crystal Lake, IL)

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.

Jared Ostendorf, Owner Since 2009 (Fayetteville, NC,)

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.

Mits Arayama, Owner Since 2005 (Dana Point, CA)

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.

Juanita Glenn, Owner Since 2016 (Upper Marlboro, MD)

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.
