FASTSIGNS International Acquires Long Island-Based Regional Sign Shop Chain
FASTSIGNS is entering 2020 as it left 2019: in strategic but aggressive growth mode.
Carrollton, Texas-based sign shop franchisor FASTSIGNS International Inc. announces its acquisition of regional sign franchise Sign Me Up Signs and Advertising.
Each of the six Sign Me Up locations in Long Island, New York, and another in New Jersey will be converted to FASTSIGNS centers by February. That will increase FASTSIGNS’ presence on Long Island to eight location.
“We’re delighted to end 2019 with this acquisition, adding seven locations to the FASTSIGNS network. We are proud to have Sign Me Up co-founder Bryan Schwartz join FASTSIGNS as a franchisee,” says Catherine Monson, FASTSIGNS CEO. “With dedicated members of the FASTSIGNS corporate team already on the ground in Long Island starting the rebranding and training process for each center, we are revving up to multiply our presence and further expand our reach in New York quickly. The addition of these seven locations is a true testament to the strength of the FASTSIGNS.”
The Sign Me Up locations that will be converted to FASTSIGNS centers are located in Oceanside, Wantagh, Lindenhurst, Centereach, and Bethpage, New York; and Elmwood Park, New Jersey. Additionally, the Sign Me Up corporate office and production center in West Babylon, New York, will also be converted to a FASTSIGNS.
As part of its aggressive growth throughout New York, FASTSIGNS recently opened locations in Queens and Brooklyn, and continues to seek qualified franchisees to grow the brand throughout the Empire State and the Northeast.
