Two Ottawa franchise printers have join forces. Both are located in the west end of the city. Allegra Design Print Mail owned by Jim Gillespie, which has operated  since 1987, has acquired KKP of Merivale Road.
Jim  Gillespie started talks about acquiring Merivale KKP  several months ago when Coronado talked about retiring. The stores are located close to  each other – Allegra is located at 1806 Carling Ave. and KKP is just  minutes away at 1529 Merivale Rd. – and both  offer the same services with similar price structures.
