Charles Payne, owner of the new Signs by Tomorrow franchise at 3637 Main Street, says he sees a good business opportunity in his Midtown location. The Kansas City Chamber of Commerce joined Payne for the official ribbon cutting of the new store yesterday. Signs by Tomorrow offers a one-day turnaround on almost 80 percent of its products, which include signs, custom flags, custom lettering on vehicles, and other graphic displays. Payne has not owned a business before, but he has been in the sign and graphic business for more than a decade. Payne says his wife Amy Ortman is an integral part of the management team, although she also has a “day job” as a physician at a Kansas City hospital. They have two employees.
