## Story

**City Wide Franchise just signed an agreement to open its first location in Ontario**

The Ontario opening marks the beginning of an initiative to expand the brand’s presence in the Canadian and U.S. markets. Another location is expected to open in Fort Myers this year, with two more signed agreements in the pipeline.

Jeff Oddo, President and CEO of City Wide Franchise said, “We’re thrilled to introduce City Wide to Canada. When we announced at the start of the year that we were targeting Canada for our next growth phase, we were eager to find the perfect partner early on.

“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.”

City Wide has made a name for itself in the U.S by streamlining commercial facilities and maintenance management, bringing together more than 20 services including janitorial, 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.

The franchise generated more than $250 million in systemwide revenue in 2018, and is on track to have another record year.

City Wide is looking out for potential franchisees with an entrepreneurial spirit, who have a business-to-business background focused on sales, management and operations experience.
