Today, YESCO represents one of North America\u2019s largest and most-recognized sign companies thanks to its historic roster of iconic signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family-owned and\noperated company began in 1920 in Ogden, Utah when founder Thomas Young\nborrowed $300 from his father to start the business. It began specializing in\nwall-painted advertisements, gold-leaf window lettering and coffin plates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, headquartered in Salt Lake City and helmed by second-, third- and fourth-generation members of the Young family, YESCO designs and creates the world\u2019s most spectacular signs, incorporating dazzling color, LED displays, motion and digital animation and video. With three state-of-the-art manufacturing plants featuring automated and custom equipment, as well as sales and service offices located around the country the company continues to grow. YESCO also operates a franchise sign-and-lighting service business throughout the United States and Canada.  \u201cThis year marks an extraordinary milestone for our family\u2019s business,\u201d says Jeff Young, vice president and chief marketing officer, YESCO. \u201cThanks to my grandfather\u2019s vision and ingenuity during the pioneering days of sign design, along with the hard work of nearly 1,100 employees today, our company is \u2013 literally \u2013 looking ahead to a bright future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pivotal moment in the\nhistory of YESCO was its entry into the burgeoning Las Vegas market in 1932, with\nthe iconic Boulder Club sign, which depicted a stein of flowing beer. With this\nsign and others, YESCO became a pioneer in incorporating neon into storefront\nadvertising and acquired national recognition for its creativity. In 1945, the\ncompany opened a branch in Las Vegas, which today represents its largest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizable examples of YESCO\u2019s\nwork illuminate the United States and Canada.
