History
In 1947, American soldiers were returning home from World War II and looking forward to building a new life. Don Bell, an NCO Instructor for the Army Air Corp, was a very talented artist and loved to paint. He decided to take advantage of his talents and open up a small sign shop in Daytona Beach, Florida with his wife, Florice. There in that 500 square foot shop, Don began to paint commercial signs for the local merchants.
Don and Florice had three children, Gary, Greg, and Brenda. Gary started working with his Dad in 1963 sweeping floors and painting billboards. At one point, all three children worked for Don Bell Signs. Since 1971 until 2006, Gary was the President of the Company and Greg is the Permitting Director. As the company grew, the Bell Family always wanted the employees to feel that they were a part of their family. This culture has resulted in many of the employees having been with the company for several decades. Today, Don Bell Signs has almost 85 employees; ownership of a 50,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on 8 acres of property; and business relationships we share from generation to generation. While Don Bell Signs has been blessed with many high profile signage projects, the greatest asset will always be its’ employees and customers.
