Sign-A-Rama

About Sign-A-Rama:

Robert and Paula Diaco have turned signs into a science. The Diacos are trained in molecular biology and microbiology, respectively, and know the importance of excellence in even the smallest details of their work.

Their South Burlington Sign-A-Rama franchise, opened in 1994, uses state-of-the-art technology to craft intricate signs, banners, and promotional items for local companies. Sign-A-Rama provides products emblazoned with company logos to a wide range of clients-- everyone from hot dog companies to towns in need of welcome signs.

Although each Sign-A-Rama franchise is independently run, the Sign-A-Rama brand encompasses 850 sign centers in 50 countries. The brand has been named "#1 Sign Franchise" by Entrepreneur Magazine for the past eight years. According to Robert Diaco, the South Burlington Sign-A-Rama branch is the largest full-service sign store in Vermont.
