FASTSIGNS International Inc.—the worldwide franchisor of more than 570 FASTSIGNS® sign, graphics and visual communications centers in eight countries—ended 2014 with 45 new franchise agreements signed and 31 new centers opened in North America, as well as reporting record system-wide sales. Robust growth is expected to continue through 2015 on all fronts.
Company executives say several factors led to another record year in every metric, including continued traction and implementation of the company’s “More Than” brand positioning and expanded products & services; significant growth in the number of outside salespeople due to the company’s in-depth support and training; and high franchisee satisfaction.
