In 1993 Mike Schaub worked for a large tire distributor based in Lexington, KY. They produced banners, signs and vehicle graphics for tire dealers all over the country. In 1995, Mike and a group of others established Hands On Originals, a company producing screen printed t-shirts and custom signs. Two years later, he acquired his largest competitor Instant Signs, on Nicholasville Road, Lexington's oldest sign shop of its type.
After moving that shop to the Zandale Shopping Center, it eventually settled into their current location on South Broadway. At this time, Chad Gaunce came on as a partner in the business. Today, Mike and Chad Gaunce continue to operate both Woodhill and South Broadway sign shops. The business has grown into much more than the original printing shop.

Extremely poor customer service. Communication does not exist, which is odd, considering Instant Signs purports to be in the communication business. I placed an order for three signs for my trailer. I was told it would cost approximately $600, then, no communication whatsoever. I attempted to contact the person who took my order multiple times (at least four times) by email and telephone.
