West Palm Beach, Florida-based sign shop franchisor Signarama says 2014 was a year in which the company added 102 new franchisees even as it underwent a complete rebranding effort.
The company also said it received several accolades in the past year, including being ranked 71st overall by Entrepreneur Magazine in its 36th annual Franchise 500 rating.
Signarama was also ranked No. 28 on Franchise Direct’s Top 100 Global Franchises list, and the franchise was also recognized for its support of military veterans, ranking No. 3 on Military Times’ “Best for Vets” list for 2014-2015.
For 2015, Signarama president “JT” Jim Tatem says the brand is targeting a 50% improvement over 2014’s franchisee growth numbers, bringing it closer to an overall goal of 1,500 sales locations worldwide by 2018. This goal, he says, will be helped in part by an aggressive global expansion plan targeting South America, Asia and Europe.
