Franchise Gator has selected FASTSIGNS® as the No. 1 pick on its list of Top 100
franchises for 2016 which was released earlier this week. The
annual ranking recognizes the top franchise systems with proven track records
for growth and quality that require smaller investments than larger, more
well-known brands making them solid investments for the everyday franchise
buyer.
“FASTSIGNS has long stood out as a solid franchise
system, so it was no surprise to me when they topped our list this year,” said
Franchise Gator’s GM Eric Bell. “They possess all of the traits we look for in
a top franchise, including consistent growth, low turnover, a strong management
team, and of course strong financials. We are excited to have FASTSIGNS
represent the top spot for 2016.”
The online franchise directory reviewed
hundreds of Franchise Disclosure Documents using a formula developed with the
help of Rick Bisio, author of the Educated
Franchisee, to compile the list using criteria such as financial stability,
profitability, franchisee satisfaction, growth, and long-term sustainability.
“Ranking No. 1 on the Franchise Gator Top 100 list
is another validation of our solid business model and the outstanding
performance of our franchise network,” FASTSIGNS International, Inc. EVP of
Franchise Support and Development Mark Jameson said. “Day in and day out, our
franchisees are placing their customers as a top priority – delivering
innovative visual solutions to help other business owners move the sales needle
forward. We’re proud of what they’ve achieved and are grateful to have such an
amazing network of franchisees and a model that has great continued growth
opportunity for those seeking new franchise opportunities.”
