Sir Speedy Printing franchise in New Jersey: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Sir Speedy Printing in New Jersey have taken 14 SBA loans since 1991 (average $194,500)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 17.3% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 4 franchised outlets in New Jersey (fiscal 2025) — about 0.04 per 100k residents.
