FASTSIGNS and My Salon Suite have been recognized by Franchise Business Review as among the Most Profitable Franchises for 2026, highlighting their successful franchise models and financial performance. This announcement was made by Propelled Brands, a multi-brand franchising platform based in Carrollton, Texas. The recognition serves as a benchmark for franchise prospects seeking profitable business opportunities supported by effective systems and robust brand awareness.
The acknowledgment is based on feedback from franchisees operating within both brands, demonstrating high levels of satisfaction with their investments and support structures. John Ludden, a multi-unit franchisee of My Salon Suite in North and South Carolina, reflected on his transition from a corporate career to franchising, stating, “My Salon Suite has been life-changing for me… it has become the primary source of income for our family. I quit my corporate job and I’m not looking back, I love it!” His experience emphasizes the potential for franchisees to achieve significant control and financial independence through the brand's business model.
Emily Staples, who operates FASTSIGNS of Gilbert, Arizona, echoed similar sentiments regarding the brand’s flexible operational model and franchisor support. She noted a remarkable 350% growth in sales since the franchise's inception eight years ago, reinforcing the brand's strong market position in the sign and visual communications sector.
FASTSIGNS specializes in providing visual marketing solutions through its established B2B model, while My Salon Suite targets the beauty and wellness market, allowing professionals to operate independent businesses within franchised salon suites. Propelled Brands is committed to expanding its influence in high-opportunity markets and supporting multi-unit franchise development.
The recognition of these two franchises suggests that they may attract further interest from potential investors and operators looking for proven franchise opportunities with strong support systems. The next steps for Propelled Brands will involve capitalizing on this momentum to continue expanding its franchise footprint and enhance operational support for franchisees.
