It’s hard to believe that Alexander’s started as a small copy shop way back in 1979, and that this year marks our 35th year of business. Of course, we’re thrilled that we’ve come so far and that we still have the greatest customers around.

Yesterday, our team sat down to discuss some of our milestones. With so many stories surrounding the business, we thought we’d share a short timeline of events with you. It’s incredible to see how how technology has really impacted the print industry, helping us develop into the full-scale commercial printing and digital marketing services provider we are today — a long way from our walk-in copy shop roots.
