Signarama got its start in 1986 when father and son team Roy and Ray Titus opened a store in Farmingdale, New York. After the store showed signs of success, they decided to open a store in North Palm Beach, Florida. In 1987, Signarama began franchising and has been a prominent force in the sign industry since. Ray Titus (the son) still holds the position as the CEO of Signarama and one of his very first employees, Jim Tatem, is the company president.

Signarama was named the #1 Sign Franchise and ranked #74 for all franchises in the 2014 Franchise 500 in Entrepreneur magazine. We are proud of this distinction and hope to keep our place as the sign industry leader by continuing to offer our customers superior and cutting edge products and service.
