Alliance Franchise Brands Formed to Unite Allegra Holdings, Sign and Graphics Holdings

This follows the announcement last week of a new Sign and Graphics brand called Image360. “This brand initiative will bring much more than a new name to the market; it will introduce a new approach that will change the way that many companies fulfill their visual communications needs,” said Palmer.

In addition to Marcantonio, Milroy and Palmer, investors in Alliance Franchise Brands include Andrew Akers, vice president of operations of Sign and Graphics Brands; Brian Tyll and Mario Grech of Allegra Plymouth (corporate-owned franchise center); Harry Silverman, chief financial advisor and Laura Pierce-Marutz, vice president of finance and administration for Alliance Franchise Brands.
