In the signage industry, the most rewarding projects aren’t just individual jobs, but rather the partnerships that grow organically from initial trust into comprehensive, multi-location collaborations. Our recent work with PRIDE Centric Food Supplies perfectly illustrates how quality craftsmanship and reliable service can transform a single project into a coast-to-coast partnership.

The Foundation: Lincolnton, NC

Every great partnership starts with a single opportunity. When a member business within the PRIDE Centric Food Supplies cooperative approached us for their new Lincolnton, NC location, we knew this was our chance to demonstrate what sets Charlotte Sign Studio apart. The project was straightforward in scope, professional signage that would align perfectly with their established brand identity.

What made this project special wasn’t its complexity, but our approach. With the client handling artwork and payment coordination, we focused entirely on what we do best: flawless production and installation. This streamlined process allowed us to deliver exactly what was promised, when it was promised, establishing the foundation of trust that would prove invaluable down the road.

Building Momentum: Monroe, NC

Success has a way of opening doors, and a few months later, that same client returned with an expanded vision. Their Monroe, NC location presented a more comprehensive challenge: they needed both post and panel signage plus complete storefront signage for Deacon Food Services.

This project allowed us to showcase our versatility. Post and panel signs require different engineering considerations than storefront signage, with different materials, mounting systems, and design approaches. But our team seamlessly transitioned between these requirements, delivering durable, visually striking signage that didn’t just meet brand standards but enhanced the location’s visibility and customer wayfinding.

The client’s decision to entrust us with this larger, more complex project spoke volumes about the impression we’d made in Lincolnton. They recognized that Charlotte Sign Studio doesn’t just complete projects, but we elevate brands.

Going National: San Diego, CA

The ultimate test of any sign company’s capabilities comes when geography becomes a factor. When an associated business in San Diego, California needed a 2D metal building sign, the client faced a dilemma: could their trusted North Carolina sign company deliver the same quality and service across the country?

The answer was an emphatic yes.

Leveraging our affiliation with the SignWorld network, we coordinated every aspect of the California project from our Charlotte base. This meant managing local permitting requirements, coordinating with West Coast installation teams, and ensuring the final product matched both the client’s expectations and their professional standards.

The geographical distance could have been a barrier, but instead it became an opportunity to demonstrate that our commitment to quality and client service isn’t limited by state lines. The successful completion of this project proved that Charlotte Sign Studio can deliver consistent, professional results whether you’re down the street or across the country.

What This Partnership Reveals

The evolution of our relationship with PRIDE Centric Food Supplies illustrates several key strengths that define Charlotte Sign Studio:

Reliability builds trust. Our Lincolnton project wasn’t just about creating signage, it was about proving we could deliver on our promises consistently and professionally.

Versatility drives growth. The Monroe project’s dual requirements showed we don’t just specialize in one type of signage; we excel across multiple sign categories and applications.

Network strength enables nationwide service. Our California success demonstrated that local expertise doesn’t mean limited reach, we can coordinate complex projects anywhere in the country while maintaining our quality standards.

Quality speaks for itself. Each completed project became a referral for the next, creating organic growth through satisfied clients rather than aggressive sales tactics.
