FASTSIGNS International Inc. (Carrollton, TX) recently announced strong growth year-to-date in 2020, including the signing of 16 new franchise agreements, 12 of which the brand has signed since March 1. The new franchises are located in new markets such as Aurora, IL, Panama City, FL and the Toronto area. Fastsigns also celebrated the opening of 20 new centers this year with 16 new centers opened since March 1, per the company.
Much of Fastsigns’ growth this year is due to its centers nationwide being deemed essential as COVID-19 forced thousands of businesses across the country to temporarily close earlier this year, allowing franchisees to pivot their services to best serve their customers and local communities, also according to a company statement.
“At FASTSIGNS, our franchisees’ success comes first. When the pandemic began to impact our industry, we fought to ensure FASTSIGNS centers across the U.S. could continue to operate, and we’ve continued to be by their side to help them every step of the way,” said Mark Jameson, EVP of Franchise Support and Development, Fastsigns International Inc. “We’re incredibly proud of how our franchisees adapted to the changing climate by tapping into the diverse product range we offer so they could fulfill the unique needs of their customers. Throughout the pandemic, our franchisees have continued to manufacture critical signage, plexiglass shields, and more to help hospitals, local governments, and businesses communicate important health and safety information and to protect communities.”
