St. Charles, MO (July 2, 2012) - SIGNARAMA, the world's largest sign franchise, announces local resident Kevin Teckenbrock is now the new owner of the St. Charles store at 2001 Golfway Dr.

Before becoming a SIGNARAMA franchisee, Teckenbrock worked in the SIGNARAMA corporate office for 10 years as the Training and Development Manager, Director of National Accounts and Regional Vice President.

Teckenbrock has worked in the sign industry for most of his career, getting his start as a graphic designer at SIGNARAMA, and eventually becoming the store manager. He also owned a sign company in Chicago for five years before joining the SIGNARAMA corporate office.

"After 10 years of working very closely with the SIGNARAMA franchisees, I knew it was time to move from the corporate side to the owner side and create a more flexible future," said Teckenbrock.

SIGNARAMA St. Charles will have expanded hours unlike other sign companies that are only open 9-5. The shop will be opening early on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. and closing at 5:30 p.m. and on Modays and Wednesdays will be staying open later, closing at 6:30 p.m. Friday hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. "At SIGNARAMA we understand that business owners wear many hats and work around the clock. Because of this, we wanted to extend our hours to help others needing our services," explains Teckenbrock.
