Don Lowe was raised on a farm in rural Kentucky, where hard work, integrity, and family values were prized.  He took the values he learned on the farm and used them to shape a company in the quick printing franchise industry, the world’s largest company, Sir Speedy.  Don Lowe learned marketing and leadership at Kampgrounds of America (KOA), where he began his career.  He learned that fairness and respect builds strong business ties.  When KOA bought Sir Speedy in 1978, they chose Don Lowe to head the company and rebuild it.

Don Lowe immediately changed the relationship between the franchisor and the franchisees.  Don created a relationship that benefited both participants.  He began internet marketing and national television advertising.  Don Lowe fostered a focused and determined sales and marketing campaign.  Sir Speedy implemented the newest in technology: color printing, faxing, desktop publishing, and online ordering.  Sir Speedy grew rapidly.

Soon a holding company, Franchise Services, Inc. (FSI), was formed and bought MultiCopy, the largest printing company in Europe.  Next, they bought PIP Printing.  Today Don Lowe has taken the company into 23 countries, built 1,000 locations, and maintained the highest profits of any printing company.  Don Lowe’s leadership skills, achievements, and excellent moral values have made him an industry leader of the highest caliber.
