FASTSIGNS and My Salon Suite Recognized for Franchise Profitability
Franchise Business Review has named FASTSIGNS and My Salon Suite to its list of most profitable franchises for 2026. The ranking relies on financial performance data and owner satisfaction surveys, highlighting the efficacy of the support systems provided by the Dallas-based parent company, Propelled Brands.

Individual success stories reflect these metrics. Emily Staples, who operates a FASTSIGNS location in Gilbert, Arizona, reported a 350% increase in sales over the past eight years, citing the importance of franchisor support and a predictable schedule. Meanwhile, multi-unit franchisee John Ludden transitioned from a 17-year corporate career to full-time ownership with My Salon Suite, describing the shift as a move toward greater personal control over his family’s primary income stream. Propelled Brands continues to prioritize multi-unit development, targeting entrepreneurs interested in established service-sector concepts.
