Sign shop franchisor FASTSIGNS International Inc., Carrollton, Texas, was named one of the top franchises for military veterans by both USA Today and G.I. Jobs magazine.

The USA Today honor is based off of data collected by the World Franchising Network for its fifth annual list of the “50 Top Franchises for Veterans,” which selected 50 franchisors from 300-plus companies that had the best representation in their operations （including franchised units, company-owned units and among the ranks of senior management） and individual programs created to attract veterans. This recognition was featured in the June 20, 2014 issue of USA Today in the “Franchising Today” section, which can be viewed online at http://www.worldfranchising.com/articles/veterans-appreciated-and-heartily-welcomed-by-the-franchising-community.
