FASTSIGNS of Lake St. Louis Now Open

(LAKE ST. LOUIS, MO) July 7, 2022 - FASTSIGNS® of Lake St. Louis, a locally owned and operated visual solutions provider, is now open. What sets this business apart is that it is both veteran-owned as well as family-operated. Veteran and franchisee, Greg Ehlers, will be managing the day-to-day operations of the business.

The close-knit team also includes Greg’s daughter Kelsie, a talented account representative who managed high-grossing accounts in their previous business, as well as her brother-in-law, Ryan Brink, a Graphic Designer. Also on the team is Carrie Ballenger, who is Greg’s sister a truly seasoned sales professional.

Greg and his family had worked together as a family for a number of years in a different industry. When that company was sold, they decided they wanted to do something that left their fate in their own hands.

“I've looked at franchising for a number of years in many different industries but the timing just wasn't right. After the change with a previous company, the timing just felt right,” said Greg Ehlers. “FASTSIGNS always stood out to me, because they were highly recommended for veterans. As I went down my checklist, I never found a box I couldn't check. It was the perfect opportunity and fit for our family.”

The team will be celebrating with a Grand Opening event on Wednesday, July 13 at 12:00 pm. The Western Saint Charles County Chamber of Commerce, of which the center is a member, will be in attendance. There will be a banner-making demonstration happening onsite, and one lucky attendee will be selected in a drawing to win a free banner for your business or family.

FASTSIGNS of Lake St. Louis is open from Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
