CLEVELAND – On Thursday, October 8, 2026, Danielle Sydnor and Quentin James celebrated the grand opening of Minuteman Press in Downtown Cleveland. They hosted an official ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by an open house that welcomed customers, local business owners, community members, friends, and supporters. The grand opening gave attendees an opportunity to meet Danielle, Quentin, and their team, tour the facility, see printing equipment in action, and learn more about the wide range of products and services offered by Minuteman Press. The celebration marked an exciting new chapter for the business, which Danielle and Quentin purchased and relocated from Elyria to Downtown Cleveland.

Minuteman Press International Regional VP Rich DeRosa attended the grand opening and spoke about the significance of bringing the Minuteman Press brand back to Downtown Cleveland. Rich shares, “The word that comes to mind is legacy, both for the new ownership team and for the region. It has been approximately 20 years since Minuteman Press had a presence in Downtown Cleveland, and continuing the Sydnor family’s printing legacy under the Minuteman Press brand is a win for everyone involved.”

Rich continues, “Quentin and Danielle bring entrepreneurial experience, a commitment to excellence, strong family values, and an impressive dedication to serving the Cleveland business community. Helping them recognize the potential of this opportunity and turn it into something special is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Congratulations to Quentin and Danielle on this exciting new chapter!”

Family Legacy Comes Full Circle

For Danielle, the printing industry has always been part of her life. Her father, Dennis Sydnor Sr., learned the printing trade in Cleveland before he and his wife, Marsha, started MD Printing in their garage in Sacramento, California, during the 1980s. They later returned to Cleveland and established their printing business, where Danielle gained firsthand experience in the family business.

Danielle shares, “Printing is in my blood. My parents built a business that supported our family and taught us what ownership could make possible. Now, to return to the industry in Cleveland, where it all began, and partner with Quentin to build a business that creates opportunities for the next generation is incredibly meaningful.”

That family tradition continues today at Minuteman Press in Downtown Cleveland, where Danielle's sons, Noah Foster and Giles Foster V, work in customer service and sales and production, respectively. Her cousin Kimberly Todd has also joined the team.

Quentin brings his own entrepreneurial background to Minuteman Press. Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, he grew up watching his father build Metro Courier Services from a single pickup truck into a successful delivery business. When the opportunity to purchase a Minuteman Press franchise presented itself, Quentin immediately thought of Danielle and her family's printing background. He shares, “I've been great friends with Danielle for a long time and knew of the legacy of her parents’ printing business. She was my first call when the opportunity came up.” 

Serving the Downtown Cleveland Business Community

Danielle and Quentin chose Downtown Cleveland because they believe in the area's continued growth and see an opportunity to make a positive impact on the local business community. Quentin says, “We chose Downtown because the area is in a bit of a renaissance right now, and we want to be a part of that. I would say our specialty is handling the everyday needs of local businesses.”

Danielle emphasizes that providing personalized customer service is a major priority for their business. Rather than relying solely on automated systems, the team takes the time to communicate directly with customers, understand their needs, and help them find the right solutions. Danielle explains, “When you put in a quote request from us, a person is going to actually reach out and call you back, make sure we understand what you're trying to accomplish, and navigate through that process with you.”

Looking to the Future

With their combined backgrounds in printing, entrepreneurship, and marketing, Danielle and Quentin are focused on building lasting relationships with their customers while helping other local businesses succeed. As they look ahead, the owners are excited to continue growing their Minuteman Press business, supporting their community, and creating opportunities for the next generation of their families.

With a successful grand opening behind them, a strong family legacy guiding them, and a commitment to customer service, Danielle and Quentin are ready to make their mark in Downtown Cleveland. Quentin sums up their vision for the future: “We definitely want to be the go-to printer here.”
