AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, announced the hiring of veteran franchise development manager Don Carpenter as its new senior retail network director for franchise development.
“Don has worked in franchising for most of his career, and we’re thrilled to have him on board,” AlphaGraphics Vice President of Retail Network Development Bill McPherson said. “He has spent nearly 25 years supporting franchise owners and their needs while mastering franchise development strategies for some very large and diverse franchising brands. His experience will be beneficial to AlphaGraphics as we continue to expand our growth objectives.”
Carpenter comes to AlphaGraphics from Circle K, where he served as the franchise development manager. Before that, he served as a franchise owner, master franchisor and was in franchising sales for a large beauty, fitness and wellness brand for more than 10 years.
Carpenter and his wife, Jill, are Colorado natives and have three children, Kyler, 21, Marae, 18, and Ashlyn, 16. When he’s not working, Carpenter enjoys coaching his children in competitive baseball and softball, working out and spending time with his family.
“I’m excited about my opportunity with AlphaGraphics and my role in managing our pipeline of franchise candidates,” Carpenter said. “I plan to lean on my proactive, consultative selling style, and I believe my experience in supporting franchise owners will be beneficial in adding new units throughout the country. The bar for excellence at AlphaGraphics is high, and I know my skill set will allow me to contribute to AlphaGraphics’ continued success.”
