FastSigns masters new European territory

FastSigns is heading to Paris as part of a new master franchise agreement that will see it open centres across France and Monaco.

FastSigns European expansion has taken an exciting step forward, as it has secured a master franchise agreement which will see 12 stores open in France and Monaco. Its first location recently opened its doors in the French capital, located at 227 Boulevard Raspail in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, under the guidance of entrepreneur Jean-Marc Tabel.

Tabel will be responsible for leading the franchise’s development across France and Monaco over the next three years and he revealed that he was excited to be taking on this new challenge.

"Throughout France, there are numerous privately-owned businesses that need marketing and branding services, and FASTSIGNS is surely the most advanced franchise opportunity in its industry. We are glad to be pioneers for the brand in our country. Joining FASTSIGNS met every criteria we were searching for in a business opportunity. With the amount of ongoing support and training that FASTSIGNS provides its franchisees, we are confident we will be successful."

Mark Jameson, Executive Vice President of Franchise Support and Development, expressed the sign franchise’s excitement at the potential of lots of new locations.

"We are thrilled to add France and Monaco to FASTSIGNS' global footprint as we continue to target growth throughout Western Europe. Our success in France will play an important role in further proving the strength of the FASTSIGNS business model internationally, particularly in major cities throughout Europe and around the world."

2019 was a fantastic year overall for FASTSIGNS, as it opened new centres in Chile, Malta and settled a master franchise agreement for new locations across the Dominican Republic. FASTSIGNS is hoping to open more than 30 locations across the globe in 2020, with franchisees new and old.
