Continuing to solidify its spot as the leader in the visual communications industry, FASTSIGNS International, Inc.—the worldwide franchisor for the more than 575 FASTSIGNS® sign, graphic and visual communications centers in nine countries—has opened its first Dubai location in the Addiyar Building at 258 Sheikh Zayed Road. Further enhancing the company’s presence in the Middle East, this expansion is led by FASTSIGNS Master Franchisee Hamdi Osman—chairman of Solitaire IGT and former senior vice president of FedEx Express Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa—who is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the Middle East logistics industry.
Under an agreement with Master Franchisee Hamdi Osman, FASTSIGNS will open 12 locations in the UAE and 25 centers in North Africa. In addition to owning and operating franchise locations, Osman also has the rights to sub-franchise FASTSIGNS across the UAE and North Africa market as a part of the master franchise agreement. Outside of Osman’s master franchise agreement, FASTSIGNS is continuing to expand in the Middle East with two new centers in Saudi Arabia, which have been planned to open later this year.
