Brand Story
This brand has built its name by solving a universal problem for businesses, clear and compelling visibility. Shops deliver end to end work, design, production, install, across storefront signs, vehicle wraps, digital displays, banners, ADA, and custom graphics.
The playbook is simple and durable. High service, fast turnarounds, professional installs, and vendor relationships that keep costs predictable. That formula scales from local mom and pops to national accounts, which gives franchisees both churn resistant repeat work and larger ticket projects.
The corporate support stack includes training, equipment guidance, design systems, and sourcing that would take years to assemble on your own. Operators step into a brand that customers already trust, then win on responsiveness and relationship management.
Data Angle
Average Gross Revenue: $846,534
Investment Range: $259,595 to $355,709
Fee Structure: 6% royalty up to $1,000,000 in sales, then 4% over that threshold, plus a $49,500 franchise fee
What it means in practice, the revenue profile outperforms many printing and graphics peers, while the two tier royalty rewards scale as you push past seven figures. Revenue is diversified across design, production, and installation, which creates recurring demand from existing accounts and steady inbound from new openings, rebrands, and refreshes.
Franzy Take
If you want a B2B business with repeat customers, tangible product, and levers you can manage, this brand checks the boxes. The demand is evergreen, every business needs signage, and the model compounds as you build a local book of corporate, real estate, and contractor relationships. This is an operator's business for hands on owners who like sales, project management, and building teams. The upside is simple, add capacity, add accounts, add installs.
A visible brand that makes other brands visible.

Domino's has unveiled its first full rebrand in over ten years, introducing brighter colors, a bolder typeface, and a new "cravemark" — an audio and visual cue that stretches the "mmm" in its name. The refresh, voiced by crossover artist Shaboozey, is part of the chain's "Hungry for MORE" strategy to connect with younger consumers. EVP and CMO Kate Trumbull said the move isn't about fixing problems, but "pushing to be the best version of ourselves."
