Family business owners Joelene and Chris Calvert acquire FASTSIGNS® of St. Cloud
(ST. CLOUD, Minn.) July 17, 2017 – FASTSIGNS® of St. Cloud, a local sign and visual graphics company that has served the area for 20 years, is under the new ownership of Joelene and Chris Calvert. The Calverts own a top-performing FASTSIGNS franchise location in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; they decided to expand their business and purchased the St. Cloud location in June 2017.
“We’re excited to grow our FASTSIGNS business in St. Cloud and to continue helping local businesses and organizations with any and all of their visual communications needs,” said Joelene Calvert. “From architectural signage and vehicle wraps to banners and displays to interior décor graphics and everything in between, we can help customers get their message out in all of the right places.”
Joelene Calvert first joined the FASTSIGNS network in 2002 as a graphic designer employee. Having worked in two FASTSIGNS franchise locations in Bloomington and Brooklyn Center, she learned about franchising and what it takes to operate a business. When the opportunity arose, Joelene and her husband, Chris, purchased FASTSIGNS of Brooklyn Center in 2011.
“Becoming a business owner and CEO was always a dream of mine, so I began making decisions as a young adult based on that ultimate vision,” Joelene explained. “In the beginning stages of owning FASTSIGNS of Brooklyn Center, we spent a lot of time getting a solid foundation in place. Putting our customers first has and always will be our main focus, and our team at both of our FASTSIGNS centers go above and beyond every day.”
FASTSIGNS of St. Cloud is located at 2719 W. Division St. and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
