CHEERS TO 30, HERES TO 30 MORE!
Classic Signs Inc. is a local family business success story! Keep scrolling to learn a little about how we got to where we are today.
Randy & Lori
30 years ago, on March 13th, Randy and Lori Perin opened a small neon shop on Northern Avenue. We honestly did not know how it was going to work out, but we gave it our all. We were young with 3 small boys, had no backing and no business experience.
THe 90'S
The first years were a challenge as a new business along with the 90's recession. We did a ton of neon during those years, some of which is still in use today. It wasn't long before we started getting requests for other sign products which led to a natural progression of services and a much larger shop. From neon to service work, vinyl lettering, manufacturing, surveys and installations we were kept very busy.
FAMILY
In 2004 we bought Broderick's Sign and Decal. Broderick is and was a very talented and respected designer. He retired a few years ago.
Two of our sons, Tyler and Kody joined us in the family business about 12 years ago. Ty is educated in 3D animation, graphic design and programming and Kody with carpentry, electrical, welding and manufacturing.
145 INDUSTRIAL COURT B
We have been in our 6500 sq ft shop on Industrial Court B for over 25 years, we are on our second boom truck, gone through a few bucket trucks and pick ups, and have just ordered a brand new Mercedes bucket truck which should be here soon.

LOYALTY
Well, here we are at our 30th anniversary and we couldn't have done it without Kody and Tyler. A huge shout out to our staff over the years but a special shout out to Mike Leppan, who is our lead service and install tech. Mike is a very loyal and dedicated individual.
HONESTY, INTEGRITY, QUALITY
We are now in the process of transitioning the business to Tyler and Kody, who will be carrying on this very busy and successful tradition based on our core values of honesty, integrity and quality.
Our customer base has grown exponentially over the years and includes many of the biggest North American sign companies who rely on us to do their surveys, installations and at times manufacturing for the Sault market. We still have some of our original customers to this day!
Thank you Sault Ste Marie and all of our loyal customers and we look forward to the next 30 years!
