| Sign-A-Rama Twenty years ago, SIGNARAMA was born around a vision: at a time when the sign industry consisted largely of artisans who manually created signs, SIGNARAMA introduced the concept of automated design. Today, as one of the largest full-service sign franchises worldwide, SIGNARAMA is a formidable presence in an industry worth more than $30 billion. With over 800 sign outlets in 50 countries, SIGNARAMA is today’s top rated sign franchise opportunity and has been recognized as a leader by industry experts, including Entrepreneur magazine. Due
to the company’s use of innovative, advanced technology and state-of-the-art
equipment, SIGNARAMA’s franchisees continually reap the benefits of the
ever-changing sign industry. A family-owned and privately-held company,
SIGNARAMA strives to provide its franchisees with the necessary knowledge and
comprehensive support and service needed to grow their businesses.
