Global sign and visual communications franchisor Fastsigns International has opened its 600th franchise location in Wisconsin, USA. The company ended 2015 with 600 sign and visual graphic centers open in nine countries including the US, Canada, England, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Grand Cayman, Mexico and Australia (where centers operate as Signwave).
“Opening the 600th franchised location is a milestone for the company,” said Catherine Monson, CEO of Fastsigns International, Inc. “In addition to having a great brand, we have successful franchisees who are leaders in their local communities, serving their customers well and also providing validation to prospective franchisees.
Founded in 1985, the first Fastsigns centers offered cut vinyl signs and quick turnaround, a groundbreaking service at the time. Thirty years later, Fastsigns locations provide comprehensive visual communications solutions to companies and organizations through the use of virtually all types of signs and graphics.
The Fastsigns location opened in Wausau, Wisconsin and is owned and operated by Karen and Joe Milanowski. They also own the location in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
“We are excited about 2016 and poised for continued growth,” Monson said.
