The Franchise 50™ awards are an annual ranking by Franchise Business Review of the top 50 franchise companies in the U.S., based on levels of overall franchisee satisfaction.  Independent surveys measure franchisee satisfaction and franchise buying experiences.

“Franchisee satisfaction is clearly one of the most important factors to consider before investing in any franchise,” said Eric Stites, founder and president of Franchise Business Review.  “Our recently completed project surveyed thousands of franchisees from more than 200 leading franchise companies.  The Franchise 50™ is one of the most comprehensive studies ever done on franchise owner satisfaction.  Without a doubt, FASTSIGNS® puts their franchise owners first, and their franchise opportunity ranks among the best of the best in franchising today.”

“We are very proud to receive these two awards,” said Bill McPherson, FASTSIGNS International, Inc.’s vice president of domestic franchise development.  “Our goal is to help our center owners as much as we can, from when they sign the franchise agreement to throughout the center’s operation.  We’re delighted that our efforts to provide good support are paying off with such high franchisee satisfaction ratings.”

“Our network has low turnover among owners and per-center sales that are higher than the sign industry average,” said McPherson.

All new FASTSIGNS® centers open with large-format, full color printers and other new sign-making equipment, which makes each location capable of producing vehicle graphics, trade show graphics, banners, exterior and interior signs, floor graphics, point-of-purchase signs and many other kinds of signs and graphics.
