MISSION VIEJO, CALIF.,—  Franchise Services, Inc. reported an outstanding year for its brands Sir Speedy, PIP and Signal Graphics—nationally known franchise companies in the printing, signage and marketing services sector. Combined comparative sales growth for the company's print franchises increased 5% year-over-year in 2023, in contrast to the U.S. printing industry being down 3%. "While much of the growth in 2023 was from signage, other products and services contributing to the strong performance include direct mail, mailing services, marketing brochures, labels, promotional products and more printing sales through online ordering portals. Despite inflation and other cost of living variables, companies continue to need these services to market themselves in a competitive marketplace, and we're seeing an influx in spending in all of these areas," says Richard Lowe, president and COO. Sir Speedy and PIP introduced new logos and branding in 2022 to optimize their market positioning as the leading multi-location signs, print and marketing services providers that can help organizations with all their business communication needs. The number of franchise printers have been steadily decreasing for the last 20 years. There are five Sir Speedy shops left in Canada .
