FASTSIGNS (Carrollton, TX) will open its first franchise location in Long Island during the latter half of 2010. The new center, located in Westbury, NY, is the first of 10 franchises planned for the marketplace.
The local expansion announcement is the latest step in the company’s national growth strategy, which calls for 20 new centers throughout the U.S., expanding through new center development and conversions of existing independent signshops through a streamlined lower investment process.
The new Westbury Fastsigns will be owned by Mike Boccasini, who recently owned a trucking company. The sign and graphics industry became a passion of his upon realizing signs and graphics help small-business owners market their business in such an uncertain economy. Owning a Fastsigns franchise will allow him to take advantage of a large franchisee support network and business model.
