FASTSIGNS Named One of Best Franchises of 2018 by Military Times

Veterans

FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS® was named one of the Best Franchises of 2018 by the Military Times—the only brand in its category to be recognized in the rankings—for the benefits it offers to military veterans and active-duty service members. As part of the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) VetFran program, FASTSIGNS offers special incentives, including a 50-percent discount on the franchise fee — a savings of $23,750.

“We are excited to be acknowledged by Military Times as one of the Best Franchises of 2018.  FASTSIGNS is dedicated to helping military veterans find success and purpose through franchise opportunities and this prestigious recognition aligns with our efforts to equip veterans with the opportunity to start a business after returning from service,” said Catherine Monson, CEO, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. “We are the only franchise in the signage and visual graphics industry to offer a 50 percent discount to any veteran, without stipulations.”

In an effort to continuously support our veterans, Monson will keynote the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Annual Employer Awards Dinner in Austin, Texas, on April 13, which recognizes employees for supporting National Guardsmen/Reservist employees.

The Military Times Best Franchises of 2018 is a meticulous, month-long process designed to honor companies around the country for their accommodations for service members and veterans. Franchises are evaluated on company culture, investment quality, overall franchising costs, military discounts, and overall support for franchisees in the National Guard and reserves.

“The franchise brands on this list make the extra effort for their veteran and military-connected franchisees,” said George Altman, the Military Times editor in charge of the rankings. “They earned their places on these rankings through their dedication to current and former service members, and their efforts should get the attention of veterans considering their launching a franchise.”

Over the last several years, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. has continued to be recognized for its commitment to veterans. In 2016, FASTSIGNS was honored with the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition presented by the Department of Defense to employers for their support of National Guard and Reserve members.
