CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO—Presort, Inc., the direct-mail and printing specialists owned by Jeromy Fritz and Mark Schaetzel, has purchased PDQ Quality Printing in Cape Girardeau. Presort has been a member of the Cape community since opening Presort South, its direct-mail marketing location, in 2018. But the acquisition of PDQ is more than Presort merely expanding its operations in Southeast Missouri, the company is also carrying on four decades of experience and trust built up by former PDQ owners, Raymond and Cathy LeGrand. It’s a responsibility to the community that Presort does not take lightly.
“We plan to continue to operate the same way, out of the same location, with the same great service and pricing that Raymond and Cathy have been offering for years,” says Fritz, who in addition to co-owning Presort is also the company’s president. “It’s our honor and duty to add on to the reputation and brand they built.”
Since 1981, the LeGrands and their staff have dedicated themselves to providing the best in graphics, whether it be classic black on white or vivid full color. More than just a place where customers can get a 5-cent copy (the price has been the same since May 23, 1981), PDQ has been a vital part of local families’ lives, providing custom wedding invitations, personalized note pads, and banners. The firm has also been a key member of the business community, designing business cards, letter head, and tri-fold brochures for other companies, big and small. And no matter who you are or what your specific printing need, PDQ’s staff well known to listen, pinpoint your criteria and get a sense of your style, and provide you with a finished product that both you and the company can be proud of.
That focus on personalized service will continue under Mark Evans, current Manager of Presort Inc. who will take on duties as General Manager at PDQ. Raymond LeGrand will stay on for 90 days to help with the business integration. And both Presort and PDQ are currently hiring additional workers to join the team.
