FASTSIGNS recognized by Franchise Business Review
The company was named to the Most Profitable Franchises for 2026 list.

Propelled Brands, a multi-brand franchising platform, announced that Franchise Business Review named FASTSIGNS among its Most Profitable Franchises for 2026.
“These honors reinforce what sophisticated franchise prospects are looking for today and what we as a platform company deliver: profitable businesses backed by proven systems, strong peer networks and powerful brand awareness,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands.
Franchise Business Review’s Most Profitable Franchises recognition highlights franchise brands whose owners report strong financial performance and high satisfaction with their investment. The honor is especially meaningful because it reflects feedback from franchisees operating within the systems and their firsthand experience with the brands’ business models, support and opportunities for long-term success.
“I wanted to own something only open five days a week from 9-5 pm,” said Emily Staples, who owns FASTSIGNS of Gilbert, Arizona. “I didn’t want to get into the food industry. I wanted something I was familiar with. Something with flexibility and at some point it runs itself. Plus, franchisor support was important. In the 8 years since FASTSIGNS of Gilbert opened, sales have grown by 350%.”
