FASTSIGNS (Carrollton, TX) announced that the company has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2025 Top Franchise for Women. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners, according to a press release from Fastsigns.

“The women who make up the Fastsigns network are truly remarkable,” Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands (parent company of Fastsigns) is quoted in the press release. “It’s an honor to see them recognized, especially since this award is based on feedback from our own franchisees. At Fastsigns, our culture is built around inclusivity, and we are proud to recruit and empower exceptional women to pursue business ownership.”
