A Lancaster-based business owner has recently acquired FASTSIGNS® of Lancaster, PA. Wes Kauffman, Owner and Manager of Perfect Image, a photo company specializing in equipment sales, rental, repair and photographic and fine art printing, purchased the center in December, 2018. The center was recently awarded the CEO Circle Award, which recognizes the top 25 centers with the highest sales volume in the U.S. and Canada between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018 at the 2019 FASTSIGNS International Convention in Orlando, Florida last week.
Since 2003, Kauffman has overseen the growth of Perfect Image from a one-man shop to a thriving business with 8 employees. In recently joining the FASTSIGNS family, Kauffman, along with the team at FASTSIGNS® of Lancaster, PA, looks forward to growing the Lancaster center in 2019. The team includes Kelli Livelsberger, who won Rookie of the Year Award in 2018, and Angela Allison who was awarded a Platinum Sales Award in 2018.
Additional team members include Wilfred Thamavong and Taylor Whitney. Thamavong, the center’s Production Manager, has been with FASTSIGNS since 2010. Thamavong began his career in the restaurant business from the age of twelve to nineteen, and he came to FASTSIGNS with over 10 years of experience in the signage industry. Taylor Whitney recently re-joined the FASTSIGNS® of Lancaster, PA team as the Graphics Manager, with previous experience working at the center from March 2013 to July 2017. The team of three graphic designers and a high-quality production staff specialize in both ADA and custom-build sign packages.
“I am most excited about FASTSIGNS’ ability to increase our ability to serve our existing Perfect Image customer base, by providing comprehensive design build signage solutions.” said Wes Kauffman. “I am also looking forward to being part of the franchise network as it presents many opportunities to grow management skills by learning from other franchisees.”
Wes and his wife, Jenelle, have two children and are active in their local community through Church involvement, soccer clubs such as PA Classics and Lampeter Strasburg Youth Soccer, and the local Toys for Tots toy drive.
“Lancaster is fantastic place to be a business owner. The community truly cares about local business and values long term business relationships. For the last 16 years this community has been a great supporter of Perfect Image, and I know that with our purchase of FASTSIGNS that commitment will only continue to grow. I am truly grateful to this community and hope to give back in any way that I can.”
