Fastsigns ranked 95th overall in the Franchise 500 - the only sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise to be recognized in the top 100 - for “outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.”
In a tweet, Signwave Australia welcomed the news. “We couldn’t be prouder of our parent company, Fastsigns - ranked #1 franchise opportunity in its category for the 3rd consecutive year and the only sign, graphics and visual communications franchise in the top 100 by Entrepreneur.”
Fastsigns CEO Catherine Monson said: “We’re honoured to once again be recognized as the leader in our category for the third year in a row. This accomplishment is a testament to the strength of the brand, our franchisees, support team, and the Fastsigns franchise opportunity.
“Fastsigns achieved exceptional results in 2018, another record year for the company, including the signing of 52 franchise agreements as well as a Master Franchise Agreements to expand the brand to Spain, the Balearic Islands, and Gibraltar and a master franchise agreement for Chile. We’re positioned to continue our aggressive worldwide growth this year.”
Signwave now has 17 centres throughout Australia, with franchises opening last year in Adelaide and Perth.
