Prior to Minuteman Press, Willie Price shared, “My background is wide-ranging. For 10 years, I was a full-time minister, leading churches in different capacities in a few different states. I’ve also held a few sales roles and was a graphic designer. My family prompted this career change as my wife and I have five children and we want to create a family business for them to be a part of as they grow older.”

When deciding to own a business, Willie Price found Minuteman Press to be the right fit. He said, “I chose Minuteman Press because of the reputation in the marketplace and also in the community. I have been a customer of Minuteman Press in some of my previous roles and always had a great experience. I’ve also heard many good things from other owners about the business model and environment.”

Our message to the community is that our goal is to become a partner that will provide support and resources to help their business grow. We aim to create lasting relationships with our customers so they trust us enough to continue to work with for years to come. We promote the benefits of print and make sure our clients know that print has the ability to enhance their marketing strategies and leave a lasting impression on their customers.”
