Carrollton, Tex. – FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today that it will be attending and sponsoring the National Business Media Show in Portland, Oregon, May 11-12, 2018, to recruit existing sign shop and printer owners to help the brand grow through the Pacific Northwest. Local entrepreneurs are invited to meet with the brand’s franchise development team at booth #911 to learn more about co-brand and conversion franchise offerings.

“FASTSIGNS has a growing presence throughout the Pacific Northwest, but there are plenty of opportunities for development. The National Business Media Show has proven to be successful in helping us recruit franchisees and we’re looking forward to speaking with interested candidates about why FASTSIGNS is the No. 1-ranked franchisor in the sign, graphics, and visual communications industry,” said Mark Jameson, EVP of Franchise Support and Development, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. “Attendees can look forward to exploring all that FASTSIGNS has to offer, including the ability to reduce their supply cost and grow their business within a new category.”

For any existing business looking to expand into this fast-paced market, FASTSIGNS gives the added support and training needed to make the process smooth.
