After just 6 years of offering its unique business model through franchising, City Wide Franchise Company has been featured by Entrepreneur Magazine in back-to-back years in its annual franchise rankings edition.

The “Franchise 500” rankings are considered the most comprehensive franchisee rankings in the world. This is the magazine’s 29th annual exercise to rank the best opportunities within multiple categories. The publication considers many factors including financial strength, growth, size of the franchise system and start-up costs.

According to City Wide President, Jeff Oddo, “Being featured by a trusted source such as Entrepreneur Magazine is a great honor and a great boost to our young franchising efforts. The desire of our franchisees to succeed at building a sales and management business for themselves has made this recognition possible.”

City Wide Maintenance is a professional management company within the building maintenance industry offering 20+ services to its clients, including janitorial services, carpet cleaning, window washing, parking lot maintenance and tenant improvements. City Wide is a “Total Solution” to its clients for building maintenance services. Says Oddo, “We are passionate to save our clients time by reducing the headaches associated with managing multiple vendors on their own.”

City Wide Maintenance was founded in Kansas City, MO by Frank Oddo in 1959 and is now a national organization with multiple locations. Current President, Jeff Oddo, second generation owner of the family business, began franchising the company’s business model in 2001.
