A new EmbroidMe Master Franchise agreement will see the brand expand across Canada over the next few years. Stuart Erskine purchased the EmbroidMe franchise rights for Canada and is planning to initially launch outlets in Alberta and Ontario.

Mark Johnson, President of EmbroidMe, said: "We are very excited to welcome Stuart Erskine into the EmbroidMe system. Stuart brings with him several years of experience in the franchising industry, which will enable him to grow the EmbroidMe brand across Canada."

As well as owning the EmbroidMe Canada Master Franchise rights, Erskine has recently signed a Master Franchise deal for Billboard Connection, a full service outdoor advertising agency, and he also owns and operates Magnetsigns, a sign promotional and advertising franchise.

"I am thrilled to start this new business venture and add yet another successful franchise concept to my portfolio," said Erskine. "I plan to leverage my years of experience in running and operating a successful franchise system to expand EmbroidMe's presence across Canada and drive the business forward."

EmbroidMe specialises in providing a full-service custom embroidery and screen-printing for apparel, promotional products and gifts to private and commercial customers. There are currently nearly 400 EmbroidMe locations across the US, Canada and Australia and the company is keen to expand its brand in territories across the US and into countries including Brazil, Mexico, France, UK and Germany.
