Fastsigns eyes major network expansion

FastSigns has set out plans to grow its franchise network by announcing details of its co-brand and conversion program.

The initiative enables entrepreneurs to add a FastSigns to their existing business, or fully convert their store to a FastSigns centre.

FastSigns already boasts more than 700 locations in countries around the world, including the UK, US, Mexico, Australia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Mark Jameson, executive vice president of franchise support and development at FastSigns International, which operates the FastSigns franchise network, says: “Small business owners have been navigating through the unknown during the pandemic, with many businesses struggling and others shutting their doors forever.

“But FastSigns franchisees have fared extremely well with the backing of our strong support centre, allowing them to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves during these unprecedented times.

We’re proud to assist existing businesses as they look to diversify their product offerings and services to weather this storm

“With a recognised brand name, advanced technology, a global supply chain network and an international system of franchisees, we’re proud to assist existing businesses as they look to diversify their product offerings and services to weather this storm.”

Nikki Taheri, who converted her existing business to a FastSigns centre in New Jersey, US, with her husband, Brendan Duane, says there are a number of key benefits to switching to FastSigns.

“FastSigns has proven to be an invaluable partner as they've provided us with a deeper connection to the signage industry,” Taheri says.

“Beyond the national brand name recognition, FastSigns gives us access to new resources, immeasurable support and vendor relationships, which allow our business to provide additional services to our customers.”
