Dear Crisp Imaging Family,
I am excited to announce that we have made multiple acquisitions to grow our wonderful Crisp Imaging footprint and support our mission "to serve customers better than they have ever been served before!" Read these lovely stories of beautiful businesses and owners who decided to become a part of our Crisp Imaging team.
We are so thankful and proud of all our employees for helping us grow to serve all of our customers.
Thank you,
Gary Crisp
iPrint Reprographics
Santa Monica, California
iPrint Reprographics in Santa Monica which was effective Friday September 24th! The owner, Gasper Obando, a civil engineer, “set out to change the landscape of the reprographics business in Santa Monica by focusing on personal service and a customer centric experience for the AEC community.” With ARC and others leaving the Santa Monica area, only Crisp and iPrint were left remaining in the city. The iPrint business is being “tucked-in” into our current location immediately and starting next Monday Miguel Saenz, who worked in production will be joining Mike and the Santa Monica team. iPrint’s other key employee Brian East, will join Marvin and the Torrance Crisp team in two weeks. Both are seasoned reprographics players who really understand our business and will add terrific value to the teams they are joining! With this acquisition, Crisp Imaging will now have a dominant share in Santa Monica and will be our 16th location.
Inline Blueprint
Hesperia, California
In addition, today I’m pleased to announce Crisp Imaging acquired Inline Blueprint in Hesperia. For the past 16 years Shawn Murphy has built the premiere “one stop shop” in the high desert serving Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley, Adelanto, and Barstow. Besides large and small format black and white they also print color, signs, apparel, and a host of other digital service offerings. Noah Lopez has been promoted to Store Manager and will leading our new store. Noah is a highly skilled leader and will be in charge of our growth in the high desert! Crisp now has 17 locations throughout the West and continues to grow!
Skyline Reprographics
Downtown San Diego, California
Skyline, who was founded by Whitney and Ian Harris, set out to change the landscape of the reprographics industry 7 years ago by providing a unique, personal, customer centric experience to the AEC Community, sound familiar? Skyline’s customer centric philosophy, and terrific downtown location fits perfectly into Crisp’s system and mission to “serve customers better than they have ever been served before.” Tim Gray, who is from San Diego and Skyline’s current manager, is a highly experienced reprographics leader, will serve as our Store Manager and Vanessa Bandith will work closely with Tim. Both Tim and Vanessa have extensive experience in downtown San Diego.
Blueprint Express
Arroyo Grande, California
Blueprint Express (BPE) has served the Central Coast since 1977 as their owner Shirly Shaw will be retiring. BPE is located between Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo right off the freeway by the commercial districk of Arroyo Grande. Shirly and her team of lead manager Chris Castaneda and Josh Norholm provide “exceptional same day service.” BPE is our dip into Central and Northern California for the Crisp brand and I expect more acquisitions in the future in both of these areas.
Rancho Reprographics
Temecula, California
I’m excited to announce effective 8/1/2021, Crisp Imaging acquired Rancho Reprographics in Temecula! Gary Chance and his family have built a beautiful business in Temecula with a loyal following over the past several decades. With focus on exceptional service, fast turn-a-round, and a variety of services it is a perfect fit for Crisp. Crisp will be adding 3 wonderful employees to the family including Roman Watson, Nicole Anderson, and Gabriel Rodriquez!
Coupled with our Murietta location, this acquisition puts Crisp Imaging in a very strong position in the Temecula where there is still plenty of current and future building. Thank you Gary Chance and the team at Rancho!
