Texas multi-unit business owners honored for excellence in business and community impact, empowering customers and employees, and fostering franchisee collaboration

March 18, 2025 // Franchising.com // AUSTIN, TX  – FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, is proud to announce Jolie and Jordan Cypert, multi-unit owners of FASTSIGNS locations in North Austin, West Austin, Leander and Georgetown, Texas, have been named with dual honors as 2024 Franchisees of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA) and 2024 FASTSIGNS Award recipients. The Cyperts were honored at the 65th IFA Annual Convention for being outstanding franchise establishment owner-operators and the 2025 FASTSIGNS International Convention for best representing the culture and values of FASTSIGNS, recognizing their exceptional leadership and impact in both the franchising community and FASTSIGNS network.

The IFA Franchisee of the Year Award honors top franchisees from IFA member brands for their outstanding performance, commitment to their communities, workforce development and support of fellow franchisees. The FASTSIGNS Award celebrates franchisees who embody the brand’s culture and values, demonstrating excellence in visual communications, empowering customers and employees, and fostering collaboration and mentorship to strengthen the FASTSIGNS network.

“The Cypert’s dedication to their customers, employees and fellow franchisees demonstrates the values that make FASTSIGNS a leader in the industry,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer at Propelled Brands. “These well-earned recognitions from both the IFA and FASTSIGNS highlight their outstanding leadership and commitment to strengthening our brand and the franchising community as a whole, and I look forward to seeing what they will continue to accomplish as they exemplify the very best of FASTSIGNS franchise ownership.”

Jordan and Jolie Cypert took a bold leap in 2015, leaving their legal careers to pursue entrepreneurship with FASTSIGNS. They started by acquiring three locations in North Austin, West Austin and Leander, and nearly a decade later, expanded with a fourth location in Georgetown. Through their dedication to excellence and innovation, their locations have become top performers in the FASTSIGNS network, earning them national recognition. The Cypert’s success is a testament to their strong leadership, commitment to their team and customers and passion for growing the FASTSIGNS brand.

There are approximately 830,000 franchised businesses across the U.S., providing nearly 9 million direct jobs and generating over $896 billion in economic output. According to Oxford Economics, franchising on average provides higher wages and better benefits than non-franchised businesses, as well as greater entrepreneurial opportunities to minorities, women, veterans and other underrepresented communities.
