What our Franchisees Have to Say
 There is absolutely no comparison to make with other franchise systems in this area. From top management on down, there is a willing ear. If there is an idea that will help the business grow and evolve, my experience has been that they are ready to hear and implement it. Fellow franchisees? I have never seen a more supportive group. Every time I have asked for help, it has been there. A good number of the Southern California franchisees are getting together now on a frequent basis.
"These are reasons that I chose this franchise. From my first contact with the folks in Franchise Development to this moment, there has never been unfulfilled promise. There are tools in place to facilitate system-wide communication, and they are well used by the franchisees."
Pete Wendy, Irvine, CA - FASTSIGNS Owner since 2007
"I cannot say enough good things. I see my competitors often and they do not get support. FASTSIGNS does not try to sell us more stuff, like others franchisors. In addition, what they do for us is very well executed. Our system has great communication through e-mails, conventions and a trust worthy system. They handle themselves honestly and ethically. Their concern for the long-term health of the system is amazing, and they never sacrifice the franchisees to other issues."
Steve Schwede, Needham, MA - FASTSIGNS owner since 1997
"As a franchise system, FASTSIGNS is one of the best run companies I have ever been affiliated with. If you are looking to purchase a sign franchise, FASTSIGNS is by far the most professional and ethical sign franchise I have had the privilege to work with."
Jamie Kline, Brooklyn Center, MN - FASTSIGNS owner since 2001 |

"FASTSIGNS provides numerous platforms for communication amongst franchisees. When it comes to quality, responsiveness and support, FASTSIGNS is simply the best in the business. Franchisees have direct access to the President of the company."
Norman Gilbert, Redwood City, CA - FASTSIGNS owner since 2002
"It's a great business model, and the franchisees in the system have been professional, forthcoming, and a pleasure to know. It's truly a franchise with which you build a business for yourself, but not by yourself."
Linda Fong, Oakland, CA and Hayward, CA - FASTSIGNS owner since 1995

"I have owned my sign center for almost six years. During that time, the people at FASTSIGNS International's people have been instrumental in helping me achieve success. From the first week when I found out I had inherited personnel problems in the center purchased, until today, the people at FASTSIGNS International have been by my side. Success in a franchise is certainly a function of the support of the home office. FASTSIGNS is super! Thanks FASTSIGNS International!"
Anthony Mauriello, Montgomeryville, PA - FASTSIGNS owner since 2001
"In all my due diligence within the sign business category, FASTSIGNS International came up on top in every area. I feel that FASTSIGNS goal is to make the franchisee's as successful as possible."
David Becker, Arlington Heights, IL - FASTSIGNS owner since 2004.
