Global sign and graphics franchise strengthens international footprint through leadership recognition, market expansion, and growing franchisee engagement
WEST PALM BEACH, FL (August 25, 2026) – Signarama®, the world’s leading sign and graphics franchise, continues to build momentum across international markets, marked by significant achievements in Europe and North America that underscore the strength and scalability of its business model worldwide.
Today, Signarama operates in more than 20 countries with nearly 300 locations outside the United States, serving businesses of all sizes through a global network of locally owned and operated franchise locations. In 2025, the brand added 24 locations globally. This includes 11 international locations in Australia, Canada, France, and South Africa, expanding its presence across key global markets, reinforcing its position as a leader in the signage and visual communications industry. Additionally, Signarama opened 13 new locations in the U.S. in 2025.
Among the year’s notable accomplishments, Signarama France was inducted into the Signarama Hall of Fame during the brand’s annual convention, recognizing its long-standing commitment to excellence, business performance, and contributions to the growth of the Signarama network. The honor highlights the success of one of the brand’s flagship international operations and the viability of Signarama’s franchise model abroad.
Further reinforcing its global expansion strategy, Signarama has also recently awarded master franchise licenses in Germany and Portugal, laying the groundwork for future expansion in additional European markets. Together, these strategic agreements signal Signarama’s continued investment in international growth and its confidence in the long-term demand for its proven franchise model worldwide.
The brand’s international success is also evident in Canada, where Signarama Canada will host its own national convention this fall. The event will bring together franchise owners, industry partners, and brand leaders to share best practices, celebrate achievements, and explore new opportunities for growth. The standalone convention reflects the maturity and continued expansion of the Canadian market, where Signarama has operated for more than 25 years.
“These milestones reflect the incredible momentum we’re seeing across our international markets,” said A.J. Titus, President of Signarama. “From franchisees earning some of the highest honors in our network to expanding our presence through new master franchise agreements across Europe, we’re continuing to prove that the Signarama model transcends borders. Businesses around the world need trusted partners to help them communicate their brands effectively, and our franchise owners are uniquely positioned to meet that demand. Our international success is a testament to the strength of our franchise system, the dedication of our franchisees, and the universal need for high-quality signage and visual communications.”
With continued expansion planned for new markets, Signarama remains focused on empowering entrepreneurs and helping businesses make meaningful visual connections with their customers.
