FastSigns (Carrollton,TX) has been named the top sign and graphics franchise for the second year in a row by Entrepreneur Magazine. The company ranked 107 overall out of 500 companies ranked overall; the organizations were judged on financial strength and stability, growth rate and size, among other factors. FastSigns has more than 530 franchisees in seven countries, including the U.S.

FastSigns product lines include banners, flags, building signs, digital and electric signs, yard signs, vehicle graphics, labels, tradeshow exhibits, POP signage and posters, among other offerings.

The company says its conversion strategy – converting independent signshops to franchisees – is mutually beneficial for small sign companies and its franchise. New locations include signshops in Newark, NJ; Syracuse, NY; Bradenton, FL; Lewistown, ID and Ogden, UT, among others.
