“As part of our ongoing strategy to provide outstanding support and growth opportunities to our franchisees, we have joined the FASTSIGNS family,” said David Colella, CEO and founder of NerdsToGo.“We are excited to join forces with one of the most powerful organizations in the franchise industry.
“After spending time with the FASTSIGNS executive team, it became clear to me that we could leverage their franchising expertise in development, support, marketing, brand positioning, and unit-level economics to grow the NerdsToGo business. I found the culture at FASTSIGNS to be consistent with the franchisee-first mindset that we have at NerdsToGo, with both organizations maintaining a commitment to its customers and employees.
“This relationship will allow us to grow the NerdsToGo franchise network and expand our awareness and footprint across the country and internationally.”
