AroundAbout Local Media, Inc. (ALM) currently franchises dual-medium, hyper-local community magazines, each with a goal of “building stronger communities.” The print magazines are complemented through our proprietary social-media based websites.  ALM’s corporate staff produces your print magazines and manages your websites.  Your task is to get fully involved in your community and provide the content.

 

"AroundAbout — Building Stronger Communities!"

“What I LOVE about AroundAbout - TowneLaker is that after I read it, I am left with a complete picture of what is going on in my community.  From new business openings to school news to special interest articles, you can get it all from AroundAbout - TowneLaker!” —Melissa Rybak

 

Whenever anyone wants to know about the good things going in one of our communities, an AroundAbout magazine is the media source to which that person turns.  Our Franchise Owners participate and get involved in all aspects of community — schools, houses of worship, business, civic, charity, sports, entertainment, government, etc. — as they help their communities prosper, grow stronger and closer.

The founders of ALM started The TowneLaker magazine in June 1996 and Sixes Living magazine in June 2000.  After many years of practice, a decision was made to franchise this free hyper-local, direct-mailed community magazine concept in September 2002.  ALM’s philosophy is to become an integral part of each community in which we publish our magazines by becoming fully involved and entrenched.  Its founders were heavily involved with their community throughout the growth of ALM.  ALM’s current ownership, its employees and Franchise Owners continue to be involved in their respective communities today.

If you are ready to pursue an ALM franchise now, please complete the preliminary application below and submit it to us.  We will review your application and get back with you to discuss the next steps.
