Franchisor Directory

Every business needs and uses signs every day. That’s why SIGNARAMA has been able to catapult itself into a major player in the Australian signage market since we launched in the country in 1998. We are now have 87 stores across the country, making the largest in Australia by far.

The need for businesses to get noticed through brand recognition and advertising has rapidly increased due to the steady growth of competitive services. As a result, this need to get noticed has propelled the sign industry to a $12-billion-plus market.

SIGNARAMA has been at the forefront of this growth, successfully franchising the full-service sign centre concept for nearly 25 years.

HISTORY

SIGNARAMA, founded in 1986 by Ray and Roy Titus in Farmingdale, New York, began franchising in late 1987 in North Palm Beach, Florida.

We launched in Australia in 1998 and have now grown to an 86 store network, making us easily the largest signage network in Australia. We are part of the world’s largest signage franchise, with over 900 locations in 52 countries around the world.

A DAY IN THE LIFE…..

One of the greatest things about being a SIGNARAMA franchisee is the Business to Business hours. Because you’re dealing with business owners, your shop is open Monday to Friday. Weekends are for playing golf and spending time with the kids.

Your greatest reward will come from driving around town and bragging to family and friends as you point out the innovative and unique signage and branding solutions that you have installed for clients. A day won’t go by when you won’t drive past a sign that you’re proud of having created.

Signs are an emotional purchase. You and your staff will make huge contributions to the success of your local business owner colleagues. Watch their face light up as you make their brand come to life in their signage. It’s like handing their newborn child over to them for the first time.

What other environments are as rewarding as this?
