International Visual Communications Franchise Continues Rapid National Expansion; Joins with Business Veterans to Build Local Market.


CARROLLTON, Texas – While new business development has stalled for many, local FASTSIGNS® is continuing to defy recession conservatism and sign new store deals at a rapid pace.

Having already signed 12 new deals since the beginning of the year – including five in the last two months – FASTSIGNS expects to secure a total of 35 new deals by the end of 2011.

The most recent deals call for new stores in Ogden, Utah; Lewiston, Idaho; Baltimore, Md.; Syracuse, N.Y. and Pasadena, Texas. The new franchise locations will be the first of their kind in each of the markets, except Baltimore where two stores already exists.
