GREENVILLE, S.C. – Corey Sanders purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in Greenville, SC in September of 2023. With a strong team in place and by following the Minuteman Press system, Corey is joining the President’s Club for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2024. Minuteman Press in Greenville is located at 440 DuPont Drive, Greenville, SC 29607

On joining the President’s Club, Corey says, “It’s a true honor to be part of the President’s Club this year. It takes a lot of effort and work to achieve this milestone, and I am proud of my incredible team for their hard work. This achievement could not be possible without their consistent effort.”

From Business Consulting to Printing

Prior to Minuteman Press, Corey worked in the field of business consulting. He shares, “Specifically, I worked in the talent development and operations space. This understanding of business and talent consulting was a natural fit into business ownership. Minuteman Press stood out as a great franchise for a couple of reasons. First, the name recognition and resources were a big selling point. While I was confident in how to run a business, I was not well-versed in the printing industry. Having a franchise that provides training and ongoing support was comforting in a career transition. Secondly, the capped royalty system seemed very fair and manageable from the owner side.”

Corey continues, “The training and support has been extremely helpful and consistent. I have multiple touchpoints within the Minuteman Press franchise including my Field Rep, Regional VP, the home office, and training team. Whenever I need support, I can count on the franchise stepping up to help.”

Growing in Greenville, SC

One of the primary reasons that Corey has been able to hit the ground running in Greenville is that he is active in networking groups and organizations. He shares, “Greenville is a growing and thriving business community. Once a textile city, Greenville is now one of the fastest growing cities in the country. There is a healthy mix of business industries, which allows us to sell to a wide array of business sectors. Through networking groups, local chamber involvement, and partnering with a handful of nonprofits in the area, we have been able to establish ourselves as a printing staple in the Greenville area.”

Corey adds, “For example, joining a local BNI chapter has been a great marketing tool for us. It has connected our business with over 50 other business owners to increase our network. We also take advantage of the Internet Marketing Program and direct marketing opportunities.”

The team at Minuteman Press in Greenville takes advantage of those opportunities by delivering high-demand products and services that meet their clients’ needs. Corey says, “Over the last 15 years, our shop has specialized in traditional paper printing. Most of our high-demand products are booklets, postcards, and envelopes, etc. We also offer full mailing services so we get a lot of design, print, and mail projects. We have been working on growing our large format division through both in-house printing and central facility vendors.”

“For me, the first priority for sales growth and success is creating a self-sufficient team that can handle the day-to-day operations of the shop. This is what unlocks your ability to work ‘on’ your business and not ‘in’ your business. This will allow for you to focus on sales strategy and creating a plan for growth and scale. In my first year, joining a weekly networking group has added roughly $75,000 in new business. We have also utilized the Internet Marketing Program for added leads.” – Corey Sanders

Rewards & Advice for Others

Since becoming his own boss, Corey is happy to be able to spend more time with his family while also having the freedom to put his own stamp on how he runs his business. He says, “I think the biggest personal reward is having the freedom to work hard but also prioritize family. With two little ones at home, the ability to create the spaces to get work done but also be a dad is the reason I left ‘Corporate America.’ On the professional side, the biggest reward is watching my team succeed. Over the last year, we have made a dynamic shift to letting our talented people own their responsibilities. This change to our workplace culture has yielded incredible results, and sharing in those victories is extremely rewarding.”

Corey shares his advice for others, saying, “My advice would be to not fall into the trap of doing everything. Giving others control and decision-making power can be tough at times but it is critical to your sanity as a business owner and is the key to unlocking growth. My second piece of advice would be to take care of your people. While you are the business owner, your employees will be what ultimately makes your business successful. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.”

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Greenville County Sheriff's Office has announced the death of one of its deputies "with a heavy heart and profound sadness."

The sheriff's office announced the passing of Major Mike East on Monday.

In the Facebook post the sheriff's office said East was "a pillar of our agency and community who dedicated 46 years of unwavering service to the people of Greenville County. Major East was more than a deputy—he was the very embodiment of public service."

"From day one, he devoted himself entirely to protecting and serving with honor, integrity, and compassion. A true family man, Major East’s devotion to duty was only matched by the love he had for his family.

"He set the gold standard in law enforcement, never compromising on the values of accountability, professionalism, and excellence. His influence helped shape generations of deputies, and his impact will be felt for years to come."

“Major East was a man who didn’t just wear the badge—he lived the calling,” said Sheriff Hobart Lewis.

“He highlighted what it means to be a Deputy Sheriff. He pushed all of us to uphold the Sheriff’s Office to the highest standards, and he did so with humility, humor, and heart. Major East was a dear friend who has certainly left an everlasting legacy at the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.”

"Major East will also be remembered for his infectious laughter, quick wit, and storytelling, which brought joy and perspective to even the most challenging days. His presence was larger than life, and his absence will be deeply felt across our agency and community.

"As we grieve this tremendous loss, we also celebrate a life well-lived—a legacy of service, sacrifice, and dedication. Please keep the East family, his friends, and his extended law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers."

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

A Greenville, South Carolina, man was arraigned at a federal court for allegedly using stolen funds to pay for a wedding, luxury travel, and a failed restaurant.

On Friday, at the federal courthouse in New York, Tony Ream of Greenville, SC, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with wire fraud and money laundering in connection with his employment at a Long Island company.

The Department of Justice said Ream was a credit supervisor for the Company, which was a worldwide distributor of medical and dental supplies with its principal place of business in Melville, New York.

Over the course of four years, Ream allegedly sent wire transfers totaling approximately $1.6 million from the Company’s bank account to a bank account that he controlled. The arraignment was held before Magistrate Judge Steven I. Locke.

According to court documents, Ream was hired by the Company in 2019 to work in their credit department. He began as a credit supervisor in 2020. It was at this time, Ream allegedly stole corporate funds from customer refund accounts and diverted the funds to his own accounts.

Additionally, while in his role as supervisor, Ream allegedly deceived employees whom he supervised into taking steps that assisted him in carrying out his fraudulent scheme.

The DOJ said Ream spent tens of thousands of dollars of the proceeds of his fraud on his wedding, hundreds of thousands on a failed restaurant venture in South Carolina, and tens of thousands on luxury international vacations.

If convicted, Ream could face up to 20 years in prison.

"As alleged, Ream is a thief who abused his authority and betrayed his employer to fund his lifestyle, including paying for the renovations of a restaurant he opened, footing the bill for his own wedding, and traveling around the world, all on the company’s dime," stated United States Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr.

The DOJ did not reveal what failed restaurant the filings were referring to.
