JOSH RICHEY

Owner - Downtown Denver

From the time I could walk, I was in a print shop.
I grew up in the printing industry. My parents have both been in the business since the early 1990s, and my father owns an AlphaGraphics franchise. Some of my earliest memories are of spending time in the shop. As I got older, I learned every part of the business, from cleaning bathrooms and coil binding books to sorting mail, making deliveries, and installing signs. By high school, I was working full time alongside the team, learning the business from the ground up.
Today, I'm proud to carry that tradition forward as the owner. I purchased the business because I genuinely love this industry. Printing, signage, direct mail, and promotional products aren't just things we sell. They're tools that help businesses grow, connect with customers, and make a lasting impression.
I've always believed the best print shops don't just take orders. They solve problems. My goal is to be a partner my clients can count on, someone who takes the time to understand what they're trying to accomplish, offers honest advice, and helps make their jobs easier. Sometimes that's recommending a different product. Sometimes it's finding a more efficient way to get the job done. Either way, I want my clients to know they have someone in their corner.
When I purchased the business, I wasn't thinking about the next few years. I was thinking about the next few decades. I want to build something that's here for the long haul, a company known for quality, reliability, and relationships. I love Denver, I love the business community here, and I look forward to helping local organizations continue to grow for many years to come.
