FASTSIGNS® Receives Franchisees' Choice Designation and Silver Award of Excellence From the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA)
, April 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, was named as a recipient of the Franchisees' Choice designation this month during the Awards Gala at the 2025 CFA National Convention in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the 15 th year for the Franchisees' Choice Designation Program, and the 13th time FASTSIGNS was honored for its accomplishment in receiving this designation. Additionally, FASTSIGNS was awarded Silver in the Traditional Franchises (30–99 franchisees) category of the CFA's Awards of Excellence in Franchising, further underscoring the brand's continued excellence in franchise support and satisfaction.

"We're committed to helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses and are honored to see that commitment recognized across Canada as we continue to grow our footprint."

Franchisees evaluate their franchisor on critical aspects of the franchise relationship, including leadership, training, communication, marketing, support and overall satisfaction.

FASTSIGNS' dual recognition in 2025 signals a strong endorsement from its Canadian franchisees and reinforces the brand's commitment to supporting small business owners in Canada. "Before we bought our FASTSIGNS, we had no business background–just a passion for creativity, service and a drive to work for ourselves," said Donna Bilodeau, FASTSIGNS franchisee of Windsor, Ontario. "From the day we took a leap of faith into small business ownership, FASTSIGNS gave us the tools, training and ongoing support to build something meaningful. With FASTSIGNS behind us, we haven't just bought a business; we've joined a family of franchisees and a corporate team that truly has our back." FASTSIGNS currently boasts 40 centers throughout Canada in markets such as Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver. The brand is currently targeting further expansion in Canada, with a focus on its co-brand and conversion programs, which help existing business owners add a FASTSIGNS to their portfolio or fully convert their business to a FASTSIGNS franchise. FASTSIGNS has helped countless owners of print shops, photography studios, camera stores, embroidery shops, and more, diversify their product lines and services to meet the growing demand for signs, graphics and visual communication solutions.
