Company founded
1948
Caron Signs was started in 1948 by Lawrence "Joe" Caron as a part time job to supplement his income. At that time he was employed by the Maine Warden Service making $20 per week. Joe hand lettered & striped vehicles & signs on his days off to support his family. After retiring from the Warden Service in 1976 he worked full time in the sign business. In 1985 Joe was joined by his son Pete, who left a career in law enforcement to learn the business, and he took the family sign business into the computer age as well as adding Carved Gold leafed sign work. Joe retired from the sign business in 1988 and Pete continued on with his wife Lisa, who joined him full time that same year.
