This Mini Banner Sign System was developed for Burger King, which wanted a system that would provide an eye catching message visible to drive by traffic, as well as those on foot entering the store. The system had to have the ability to change out of promotional messages. At 8' x 1 ½' the banner is small enough to fit easily angled at roof canopy, yet large enough to be visible from the street. Spring tension arms slip into mounting brackets and lock into position making installation simple.
