Global sign and visual communications franchisor Fastsigns International, which has over 615 centers worldwide in nine countries, is seeking to expand its global footprint with an emphasis on Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, among other countries in Southeast Asia.
Fastsigns will work with World Franchise Associates, a global franchise services company that helped facilitate the master franchise deals in the UAE and North Africa. Troy Franklin, World Franchise Associates chief operating officer for Southeast Asia, will lead efforts in identifying qualified candidates to join the franchise.
“Global expansion continues to be a part of our franchise development plans. Due to the ongoing worldwide need for visual communications and digital signage technology, we expect to open another 45 to 50 centers in 2016 and sign agreements to enter two or more new countries,” said Mark Jameson, EVP of franchise support and development, Fastsigns International.
“Its no secret that the business climate across Southeast Asia is proving healthy and fruitful,” said Troy Franklin, World Franchise Associates chief operating officer for Southeast Asia. “The rapidly expanding markets in Southeast Asia offer huge potential for U.S. based brands, and we’re excited to help Fastsigns International identify qualified candidates interested in joining the ever-growing, award-winning franchise.”
