Well I work at one. And it's the first "franchise" I have worked for. I can not attest to the beginnings of this one (started in 1999) as I have been here 5 years. But it really depends on the person running it, and who they hire. This location runs around 95% in house production, and is quite profitable. About to hit $1 million for the year, with 4 employees. So, as in any business, or franchise, it's all about the person and how they handle business. Not defending Signarama, or UFG's support or lack thereof (I've heard other bad stories).
