Published on July 21, 2021

During an already monumental first six months honoring its 60th year in business and 20th year in franchising, City Wide Facility Solutions is well on its way to achieving its 10-year growth goal – to become a one billion dollar company by the end of 2026 – as it begins to franchise beyond the United States and Canada.

The nation’s leading management company in the building maintenance industry continues to consistently grow, positioning it to surpass 2020’s systemwide revenue of $392,000,000. With the prioritization of services such as electrostatic disinfectant spraying during the height of COVID-19, City Wide became critical in ensuring other essential businesses were able to safely serve their communities. Now, as workers are returning to the office, City Wide is once again stepping up to the plate to manage the uptick in requests for repair work, maintaining the interior and exterior of facilities, security enhancements and increased cleaning frequencies.

“While reflecting on how far we’ve come, I’ve realized I can perfectly and clearly see what the future of City Wide looks like,” said Jeff Oddo, CEO and owner of City Wide Facility Solutions. “The next step in our development is to become an international organization. We’ve worked hard to create a business model that can translate and be successful across the world. As a company that has been around for 60 years, evolution has been crucial for us and will remain important for our growth.”

In a concerted effort to expand the company’s “ripple” beyond North America, City Wide Facility Solutions is introducing master franchise agreements. This will allow others to learn how to become a City Wide franchisor in other countries across the world. Aligning with its vision to be the “First Choice” for clients, employees, franchise owners, independent contractors and vendors, the company strives to make a difference in people’s lives and become a trusted partner for global clients.

City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities and Canada by streamlining facility solutions for more than 20 interior and exterior services for commercial facilities including janitorial, disinfecting, handyman services and parking lot maintenance. Taking the onus from building owners and property management businesses that typically have to choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.

Entrepreneurially-spirited individuals interested in owning a City Wide franchise should have a business-to-business background focused on sales, management and operations experience as well as have a desire to be a part of a mission driven organization that prioritizes giving back to the community and the franchise system.
