OK Sign Company is a Utah-based business rooted in a rich legacy of the OK Tire shop, located in Malad, Idaho. The genesis of this legacy can be traced back to 1941 with the establishment of the OK Tire shop. This reliable business had already become a pillar of the local community before it was purchased by Gordon Griffiths in 1957, after he had dedicated eight years to the shop as an employee. His son, Rick Griffiths, took over ownership of the business in 1981, maintaining the strong reputation for quality and service until his retirement in 2023.

Even with the closure of the tire shop, the entrepreneurial spirit of the Griffiths family persisted. In 2023, Rick’s sons, Aaron and Erick Griffiths, turned a new page in the family’s business history by launching OK Sign Company. Their previous experience at the tire shop had instilled in them a commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction, principles that they carried forward into their new enterprise.

In 2020, Aaron and Erick kindled their passion for sign making when they installed LED Neon lighting on the historic OK Tire shop sign in Idaho. This successful project led to more custom sign creations and commercial sign restorations, ultimately inspiring the creation of OK Sign Company.

Today, OK Sign Company specializes in crafting personalized sports displays and standout business signage. Our innovative PlayByPlay Scoreboards and IllumiJersey Displays, combining modern lighting and electronics, are testament to our ingenuity and craftsmanship.

We remain committed to the values we’ve inherited – quality, customer service, and positive community engagement. Our mission is to illuminate success stories, whether on the sports field or in the business realm. Welcome to OK Sign Company.
