June 21, 2019 // Franchising.com // LENEXA, Kans. – City Wide Franchise, the franchisor of the nation’s premier management company in the building maintenance industry, today announced it has signed an agreement to open its first location in Canada. The new location will serve the Southwestern Ontario community in Canada’s most populous province.
This new Ontario location marks the start of an initiative set at the beginning of the year to expand the brand’s presence in the Canadian market. Development in the United States and Canada is continuing for the company, as another location is expected to open in Fort Myers this year with two more signed agreements in the pipeline.
“We’re thrilled to introduce City Wide to Canada. When we announced at the start of the year we were targeting Canada for our next growth phase, we were eager to find the perfect partner early on,” said Jeff Oddo, president and CEO of City Wide Franchise. “It is a testament to the brand our team has worked hard to build, to establish ourselves as leaders and innovators in the United States and Canadian commercial building maintenance industry. We look forward to continuing this legacy within the Ontario community.”

Generating more than $250 million in systemwide revenue in 2018, City Wide is on pace to have another record year. Entrepreneurially-spirited individuals interested in owning a City Wide franchise should have a business-to-business background focused on sales, management and operations experience.
