Crafting Memorable Branding Solutions: Strategic Growth at MidAmerica Industrial Park Drives Success
Premier Designs stands as a testament to the power of legacy, innovation and strategic growth. The company’s roots trace back to Fuller Sign Service, founded in 1948 by Bud Fuller, a pioneer in signage craftsmanship. For decades, Fuller Sign Service set the standard for quality and service, a legacy carried forward by Bud’s son Dan Fuller.
In 2012, Justin Hare, alongside his father John Hare, acquired the company and rebranded it as Premier Signs & Designs, focusing on creative design and comprehensive branding solutions. This transformation marked a new era for the business, emphasizing innovation and customer-focused design. The addition of partner Todd Fannin in 2021 was another key milestone, paving the way for the company’s relocation to a 10,000-square-foot facility at MidAmerica Industrial Park in the spring of 2022.
“Moving to MidAmerica has been one of the best decisions we’ve made,” said Hare. “The Park has provided us with the space, resources and community connections needed for growth and expansion.” Since the move, Premier Designs has doubled in size, reflecting both its operational excellence and the supportive environment of the Park.
Premier Designs specializes in a wide array of services including printed paper goods, interior and exterior signage, decals, window graphics, phenolic labels, apparel and digital advertising solutions. At the heart of the company’s mission is a commitment to making every project “memorable,” blending creative design with meticulous attention to customer needs.
Recent projects highlight Premier Designs’ innovative approach. The company designed, sold and installed two large digital billboards—one on Highway 69 at Hooker’s Bar and Grill and another on Highway 20 at Salina Highbanks Speedway—capturing the attention of millions of motorists annually. A standout local project involved creating a retro-modern sign for Paulie’s Donuts in Pryor, which earned widespread acclaim for its unique design and nostalgic appeal.
The company attributes its growth to the collaborative relationships cultivated within MidAmerica Industrial Park. “Our location has allowed us to enhance production workflows, improve efficiency and build great relationships with other businesses,” said Hare. These connections, coupled with the Park’s infrastructure and resources, have been instrumental in Premier Designs’ success.
Looking ahead, Premier Designs aims to expand its footprint across Northeast Oklahoma while continuing to grow relationships within the Park. “Our goal is to always improve—ourselves, our abilities and our impact,” Hare added.
