CARROLLTON, Texas -- FASTSIGNS�, the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as a 2025 Top Franchise for Women. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.
"The women who make up the FASTSIGNS network are truly remarkable," said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands. "It's an honor to see them recognized, especially since this award is based on feedback from our own franchisees. At FASTSIGNS, our culture is built around inclusivity, and we are proud to recruit and empower exceptional women to pursue business ownership."
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.

FASTSIGNS was among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review's research on the Top Franchises for Women. FASTSIGNS' franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
"Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full or part-time basis," said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. "With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it's critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture and leadership of any brand they're considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year's list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations and 3 out of 4 said they would recommend their franchise to others�powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership."
FASTSIGNS' survey data showed the following:
91% of franchisees agree that they enjoy operating this business;
95% of franchisees are likely to recommend this franchise to others;
91% of franchisees agree that they respect their franchisor.
"Opening a FASTSIGNS was an easy decision for our family. After seeing how the business model could complement our existing photography business, we knew it would offer opportunities for growth and flexibility," said Gaby Mullinax, FASTSIGNS multi-unit franchisee in Fullerton and Brea, California. "FASTSIGNS continues to give us the resources we need to keep expanding our business and work towards building a lasting family legacy."
