FASTSIGNS gains momentum in America

FASTSIGNS has been reflecting on the fantastic year it’s had with record numbers of franchise agreements signed in 2018.

FASTSIGNS has announced that it’s signed an incredible 32 new franchise agreements in 2018 alone, showing that this year has clearly been a good one for the sign franchise.

The new agreements range from exciting co-branding opportunities, which will see the FASTSIGNS brand incorporated into an already successful business, to conversions and brand-new fully franchised centres. The agreements have been signed all across the US, in major cities including Portland, Manhattan and Orlando and the franchise has also agreed to several international developments across Canada, the UK and even an expansion into Spain.

Mark Jameson, EVP of Franchise Support and Development, said that the rapid pace at which new agreements are being signed fits its position as the top graphic and sign franchiser in the world and that FASTSIGNS is continuing to develop a strong image around the world.

The franchise took advantage of the wave of interest it’s experienced by attending and sponsoring this year’s Franchise Expo West, which was held at the Los Angeles Convention Centre. It showcased its wide range of opportunities, including its unique position as the only franchise in its category to offer discounted franchise fees for US military Veterans through the International Franchise Association’s VetFran programme.

FASTSIGNS is projected to open an astonishing 40 centres across the US this year and is continuing to look for ambitious franchisees across the globe. It’s hoping to grow the brand in areas including Latin America, Europe, India, Southeast Asia, North Africa, Brazil and New Zealand to build on its success further. FASTSIGNS was also ranked 70th on the Franchise 500 2018 list by Entrepreneur magazine, solidifying its position as the top franchise of its kind.
