DENVER, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PostNet, a global leader in high-quality printing and shipping solutions, continues to showcase its excellence in franchising after earning another spot on the Franchise Times Top 400 list, moving up from 294 in 2023 to 288 this year.

“Our continued presence on this list shows our ability to attract new owners, while still providing the best support possible for our existing franchise owners,” said Bill McPherson, vice president of retail network development. “We are excited to once again be recognized alongside such franchise heavyweights as McDonald’s, KFC and 7-Eleven. Making this prestigious list another year is a testament to our determination to develop and implement strategies that make our franchise business one of the strongest in the country.”

The Franchise Times Top 400 is an annual ranking of the largest franchise systems in the United States by global systemwide sales, based on the previous year’s performance.

In a five-month research process and building upon a database that began in 1999, the Franchise Times research team uses a combination of companies’ voluntary reports and publicly available data, including the franchises’ most recent franchise disclosure documents and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings.

The research team spends months compiling information for the rankings, the five-year sales history graphs, top 10 lists and industry subcategories, and then reconciling to ensure all published data is accurate and all estimates are based on a solid sales formula.

“This recognition is truly humbling,” McPherson said. “Our commitment to serving our franchise owners is the result of our leadership team’s efforts, and the dedication of our franchise owners to provide our customers with exemplary service has made this company one of the world’s leading franchises.”

This January 8th would have been the King’s Birthday. Gone but never forgotten, his image, music, films and memories live on as a testament to his true effect and influence on his generation and future generations to come. The original American Rock-n-Roll Idol who influenced the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and anyone that has ever picked up a guitar or a microphone since, continues to engage our love affair with his all American story of a shy poor and humble country boy that became the King of Rock-n-Roll. Elvis Presley, recognized by TIME magazine as the “Artist of the 20th Century,” has sold more records than any other artist or group in the history of modern music. Even after death, his image and music continue to be loved and celebrated throughout the world. With the critically acclaimed big screen biopic “Elvis” by director Baz Luhrmann starring Austin Butler as Elvis and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s music and charisma are once again in the spotlight for a whole new generation and there’s no sign of the King leaving the building of Rock-n-Roll icon status.

Keeping the memory alive at countless venues throughout the country, Chris MacDonald lovingly shares the magic of the “King of Rock-n-Roll” with his full production tribute Memories of Elvis. Chris’s show is not an overdone impersonation. It is a natural heartfelt tribute to a legendary performer and music icon. With his dynamic production band, Chris MacDonald draws his audience in with the look, sounds, and nuances that made Elvis the King of Rock-n- Roll!

Adding to the authenticity of his tribute, Chris MacDonald has the honor of being the only tribute artist hired by Elvis Presley Enterprises to perform at Graceland’s Heartbreak Hotel. An energetic and experienced entertainer, MacDonald has also starred in the famous “Legends in Concert” stage productions and has performed in Branson, MO, and Las Vegas, NV. Chris has also performed in Concert with Elvis Presley’s original back up group The Jordanaires and D.J. Fontana Elvis original drummer “The Beat Behind The King” at the famous Seminole Hard Rock Live Concert Venue in Hollywood Florida and other venues throughout the country.

With this newly updated production, the show will include costume changes and songs representing the different stages of Elvis’s incredible career including the 1950′s, the Movies, the 1968 Comeback and the 1970′s White Fringe Vegas Concerts. It’s all a part of this fun loving tribute to one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Get “All shook up” and celebrate the life and music of the King of Rock-n-Roll with Chris MacDonald’s Memories of Elvis Rockin Birthday Bash.
