Royal Signs & Awnings builds custom canopies for Brakes Plus expansion

Royal Signs & Awnings fabricated and installed custom metal canopies for a Brakes Plus project in Oklahoma City, supporting the automotive chain’s growth to nearly 200 locations. The work shows how exterior branding and canopy systems help multi-site brands keep new facilities functional and consistent as they expand across DFW and beyond.

Why it matters: - Brakes Plus is scaling a multi-state automotive service network with nearly 200 locations. - That kind of growth creates recurring demand for exterior construction partners that can deliver consistent canopies, signage and branding across sites. - Custom metal canopies add both function and visual identity to high-traffic commercial properties.

What happened: - Royal Signs & Awnings fabricated and installed custom metal canopies for a Brakes Plus development. - The project was completed in collaboration with J.C. Curtis Construction Company. - The work supported Brakes Plus expansion across DFW and surrounding markets. - The project took place in Oklahoma City.

The details: - Brakes Plus was founded in 1990 and grew from a single automotive service location into a multi-state network. - Brakes Plus provides brake services, oil changes, vehicle maintenance, diagnostics, tire services and other automotive repair solutions. - Public project information identifies the Oklahoma City facility as about 4,897 square feet on a 1.42-acre site. - The project scope included canopies, awnings and signage. - Royal Signs & Awnings designed the metal canopies to complement the building and create durable covered areas. - The company also offers monument signs, pole and pylon signs, commercial signage, awnings, channel letters and cabinet signs. - Royal Signs & Awnings works with general contractors, developers, property owners and multi-location brands on individual jobs and larger rollout programs.

Between the lines: - The project shows how exterior components can become part of a brand’s operational standard as much as its appearance. - For contractors and developers, using one partner for fabrication and installation can simplify delivery across repeated locations. - DFW and other Texas markets continue to attract commercial development that needs durable, branded exterior solutions.

What's next: - Brakes Plus is likely to continue adding locations as it extends its footprint. - Royal Signs & Awnings is positioned to pursue similar canopy and signage work for automotive, retail, restaurant, convenience store and medical projects in Texas and nationwide. - Multi-location brands will keep needing exterior systems that can be replicated without losing consistency.
