Where must interior signs for a Southern Steer location be purchased from?

According to the 2025 Southern Steer Franchise Disclosure Document, all interior signs must be purchased from a Designated Supplier. The FDD specifies that all exterior and interior signs at the Franchised Location must comply with the standard sign plans and specifications established by Southern Steer and provided to the Franchisee.

This means that franchisees do not have the freedom to choose their own sign vendors or designs for interior signage. They are obligated to use the supplier that Southern Steer has designated. This ensures brand consistency across all Southern Steer locations, maintaining a uniform look and feel.

While this requirement limits the franchisee's autonomy in vendor selection, it also provides the benefit of pre-approved designs and potentially negotiated pricing with the Designated Supplier. However, the franchisee bears the responsibility for all costs associated with the signs, including installation, architectural fees, and any necessary permits or licenses. Franchisees must also get written approval from Southern Steer for sign plans and specifications.
