\nfranchises<\/a> for 2016 which was released earlier this week. The

\u201cFASTSIGNS has long stood out as a solid franchise
\nsystem, so it was no surprise to me when they topped our list this year,\u201d said
\nFranchise Gator\u2019s GM Eric Bell. \u201cThey possess all of the traits we look for in
\na top franchise, including consistent growth, low turnover, a strong management
\nteam, and of course strong financials. We are excited to have FASTSIGNS
\nrepresent the top spot for 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

The online franchise directory<\/a> reviewed
\nhundreds of Franchise Disclosure Documents using a formula developed with the
\nhelp of Rick Bisio, author of the Educated
\nFranchisee<\/em>, to compile the list using criteria such as financial stability,
\nprofitability, franchisee satisfaction, growth, and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cRanking No. 1 on the Franchise Gator Top 100 list
\nis another validation of our solid business model and the outstanding
\nperformance of our franchise network,\u201d FASTSIGNS International, Inc. EVP of

\nfranchisees are placing their customers as a top priority \u2013 delivering
\ninnovative visual solutions to help other business owners move the sales needle
\nforward. We\u2019re proud of what they\u2019ve achieved and are grateful to have such an
\namazing network of franchisees and a model that has great continued growth
