Carrollton, Texas) September 18, 2008 – While local companies continue to invest millions to ensure their image is more dominant than the competition, leading sign and graphic franchise, FASTSIGNS® International, Inc., is seeking motivated franchisees to join its rapid expansion into the Canadian markets. The franchisor will be on-hand at Canada's largest, most-trusted and only all-franchise tradeshow, The Franchise Show, produced by the Canadian Franchise Association, Oct. 25-26 in Toronto.

opportunity for FASTSIGNS,” said Bill McPherson, vice president of
domestic franchise development for FASTSIGNS International, Inc.
“Local entrepreneurs and those seeking to start a new career and
own their own business are key to helping the FASTSIGNS concept
grow and thrive across Canada, even in uncertain economic times.
Studies show that signage is one of the best uses of a company’s
advertising dollars.”

operating as local, independent business people, but with the
support of a franchise system. Owners can choose from a variety of
marketing programs, field visits and other forms of support to
