Fastsigns makes Top 100 franchise ranking

Fastsigns has been recognised as one of the top 100 franchises of 2020 by comparison site Franchise Gator.

Out of 100 of the top franchises, Fastsigns was ranked number two, second only to Mathnasium. It was the only signage business to make the list, demonstrating just how dominant it is in its sector. Franchise Gator was impressed with its growth, financial stability and high levels of experience, among other factors.

Eric Bell, Franchise Gator’s General Manager and Franchise Ventures’ Vice President was quick to praise the business:

"I've studied hundreds of franchise opportunities, and Fastsigns represents all of the traits we look for in a Top 100 franchise. Congratulations to Fastsigns for being an exemplary opportunity among many to choose from."

This isn’t the only accolade Fastsigns has received in recent months. As Mark Jameson, Executive Vice President of Franchise Support and Development explained:

"[Franchise Gator’s ranking] comes on the heels of Fastsigns being named the number one franchise opportunity in our category on Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500, and we are thrilled to begin 2020 … with such strong validation that Fastsigns is the leader in our industry."

Fastsigns grew significantly in 2019, opening over 30 franchise units and signing over 35 franchise agreements across the US and Canada. It also increased its international coverage, expanding into France, Malta and Chile. It has also finalised a master-franchise agreement for a number of Fastsigns locations in the Dominican Republic.

During 2020, the signage franchise intends to exceed last year’s accomplishments by signing over 45 franchise agreements and setting up branches in several new countries. In the US, Fastsigns intends to expand into Michigan, Southern California, Florida, New York City, Boston and the Northeast Corridor. Other international areas of interest include Europe, North Africa, Southwest Asia, New Zealand, Quebec, Brazil and Latin America.
