MEDINA, Ohio During his first year in business as a Minuteman Press franchise owner in Medina, Dave Wyatt was faced with the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But Wyatt is no stranger to tackling challenges: He spent eight years in the Army as an aircraft electrician and 19 years working for Konica Minolta.
“During that time, I did a lot of training and calibrating equipment, so I was in many different types of businesses,” he said. “I saw independent print shops, UPS stores and Minuteman Press franchises. When I decided to own my own business, I knew I didn’t want to open without support, so I went the franchise route.”
