WINNIPEG—  Melanie Collao and Gary Biala are the owners of Minuteman Press in Winnipeg. Melanie and Gary acquired Rap Printers & Rent-a-Post, a single location operating two distinct businesses with over ten years in business. Melanie says, “This acquisition has been fantastic for our business! We’re on track to double our sales compared to last year.” Melanie and Gary’s Minuteman Press franchise is located at 1599 Dugald Rd #3, Winnipeg. Melanie continues, “While printing remains an important component of the business, we’ve now expanded to providing efficient on-site sign installations in Winnipeg and nearby municipalities. Minuteman Press International’s guidance helped us integrate the Rent-a-Post services into our FLEX software system, ensuring a smooth transition.” She adds, “Merging the companies and managing to consolidate our operations into our main location – without needing to move into a larger space – has resulted in significant cost savings. Neil and the field reps were instrumental, guiding us through the challenges and showing that it's possible to creatively merge operations to make the most of our existing space.
