United Franchise Group

The United Franchise Group story began as a single Signarama store in New York in 1986 to a global franchise phenomenon with 10 brands and 1,600+ franchises today. That’s the United Franchise Group story.

Signarama founder Ray Titus pioneered the full-service signage concept in 1986 and has continued to grow his franchise company with brands such as Fully Promoted, Experimac, Transworld Business Advisors and Venture X.

More recently, the company has expanded it’s offering into food service brands, with the addition of Jon Smith Subs and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill to the ever-expanding portfolio.

Now operating in more than 70 countries around the world, Australia is by far the largest market for the company outside of the US, making up over 200 franchised locations across Signarama, Fully Promoted, Experimac, Transworld and Venture X.
