About Sign-A-Rama Inc.
Father-and-son duo Roy and Ray Titus entered the sign industry in 1986 and brought their idea of automated graphic design to what was then a business run predominantly by craftspeople. In 1987, they began franchising Sign-A-Rama Full Service Sign Centers and have franchise owners from coast to coast and internationally. Sign-A-Rama is based in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is still a family-owned and privately held company.Franchise Units
