Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-29T10:05:01-04:00August 29th, 2023|Tags: City Wide Facility Solutions, commercial facility management company, managing interior and exterior services|

LENEXA, Kan. — Coming off a record-breaking year in 2022, City Wide Facility Solutions, the nation’s leading management company in the building maintenance industry, has continued to experience record growth in the first half of 2023.

In the first six months of the year, it signed 7 new locations, which puts it on pace to match last year’s record-breaking number of new franchisee signings. Also notable is the success of City Wide Facility Solutions’ franchises, reflected in its new financial information which includes an average unit volume (AUV) of $8.07 million – a $1.35M increase from last year, average annual revenue top quartile of $17.96 million and franchisee sales median of $6.4 million.

“It’s been an incredible first half of the year for City Wide. Last year we had our best year ever in terms of new locations opening, so it’s great to see that momentum continue through 2023,” said Jeff Oddo, CEO and owner of City Wide Facility Solutions. “Even more impressive is the strength and value of our business model, which is evident through the revenue growth we’re experiencing. When you combine this growth with the number of quality new franchisees we’re signing, the impact we’re able to have in the communities we serve continues to grow as well.”

To assist with the company’s rapid growth and guide the organization toward its goal of becoming a billion-dollar company by 2026, Troy Hartman was promoted to President. Additionally, at its annual Convention in March, City Wide raised more than $659,000 for Learning Independence for Tomorrow – a nonprofit with close ties to City Wide’s franchisees in Tampa, FL.

Temporary Wall Systems continues its expansion into New Jersey with a Meadowlands location

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-29T09:45:46-04:00August 29th, 2023|Tags: HomeFront Brands, rentable containment wall provider, Temporary Wall Systems, TWS|

Owner to help area contractors provide a safe and sustainable temporary wall system.

MEADOWLANDS, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will open a new location in The Meadowlands on Labor Day – its third venue in New Jersey.

Owner Ken Papile said TWS’s turn-key approach will help local businesses solve the problem of additional waste that is created when disposable temporary walls are built to protect people from areas of construction and renovation. Most contractors usually construct these walls from drywall and other permanent materials that have to be tossed into landfills once the wall comes down after renovations.

“Temporary Wall Systems has created a rentable wall that is easy to install and produces little to no waste when it’s taken down,” he said. “I love that our rentable containment walls are a fast and reliable solution to protect people from the dust, noise and demolition during a renovation or construction project.”

Papile is a New York area native and graduate of Iona University in New Rochelle, New York. Prior to opening Temporary Wall Systems Meadowlands, he spent years as a sales executive for several large clothing and apparel distributors.

In addition to his corporate positions, Papile has also owned and operated a few businesses, including a company that renovates and rehabilitates older homes for resale. He said that when he researched TWS, he became impressed with its franchise model and knew the idea of rentable, reusable walls was a solid investment.

“The TWS system is a win-win for the contractor and the customer,” he said. “It’s more cost effective for the contractor and eliminates the need to fill up a landfill with permanent building materials that were only used for a temporary purpose.”

Papile said he also wants to create a long-term business in the Meadowlands area that he can keep in the family for years to come. He and his wife, Elissa, have three children: Giuliana, 9, Vienna, 7 and Milo, 3.

“I love this area because you can get pretty much anything you want in New Jersey,” he said. “There are beachy areas along the New Jersey shore, and there are rural areas, suburban areas and, of course, you can enjoy being close to New York City. It’s a great place to live, work and open a business.”

TWS is part of HomeFront Brands, a family of emerging, franchised residential and commercial property service brands that offers integrated technology, data support, lead generation, business intelligence systems and training to its partners.

Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey Provides Contractor and Facility-Friendly Containment Systems for Renovation and Construction Projects

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-28T11:13:33-04:00August 28th, 2023|Tags: HomeFront Brands, rentable containment wall provider, Temporary Wall Systems, TWS|

Local owner will host a grand opening event for the new location at a facility management association golf tournament on Sept. 6.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Temporary Wall Systems (TWS), the first full-service, temporary containment wall provider in the United States, will highlight its latest location in South Jersey at an International Facility Management Association (IFMA) annual golf outing at Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, New Jersey on Sept. 6.

Temporary Wall Systems South Jersey is an official sponsor of the golf event and local owner Sam Adler said he hopes to get the word out about the new location to area facilities managers and general contractors who attend the event.

Adler said he believes that the growth in the number of commercial renovations and construction projects in the South Jersey area provides a natural customer base for the temporary and reusable containment system his TWS location provides.

“When I was looking for investment opportunities, I saw the Temporary Wall Systems franchise and fell in love with the model,” he said. “During my research, I validated that a rental model for hard, modular temporary walls wasn’t a ‘nice to have’ option, but a ‘need to have’ option,” he said. “There is a great demand in this area for a temporary hard wall containment solution that is not only able to contain construction dust, noise and foot traffic, but is aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable. Because the TWS walls are refreshed and reused, literally tons of scrap is prevented from going into our landfills.”

Adler has worked in executive leadership positions for the majority of his entire professional life, and he is confident that his background in leading marketing teams and raising brand awareness will help him expand his company.

“There are a lot of health care facilities, labs, hotels, casinos, office spaces, universities and many other commercial spaces in this area that will want the containment these walls provide as they begin remodeling projects,” he said. “Contractors are relieved to have a containment subcontractor option in the area. Building temporary containment from scratch can be expensive, unreliable and wasteful. Facility managers are thrilled when they see the aesthetic quality of TWS walls, how permanent they look, and how we help them meet their sustainability mandates.”

Adler pointed out that the reusable walls are fire rated, and also meet the Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Best Practices in Health Care Construction, so they will be most welcome in protecting workers, staff and patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

He and his wife, Fabienne, expect that his TWS location will provide local employment and also be able to give back to his community through a variety of charitable associations.

TWS South Jersey serves the entire South Jersey area, including cities such as Absecon, Atlantic City, Blackwood, Bordentown, Brigantine, Burlington, Camden, Cherry Hill, Delran, Deptford, Egg Harbor Township, Glassboro, Gloucester, Hamilton Township, Linwood, Longport, Margate City, Marlton, Marmora, Medford, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Mt. Holly, Northfield, Ocean City, Pennsauken, Pleasantville, Sicklerville, Somers Point, Swedesboro, Ventnor City, Vineland, Voorhees, Washington Township and Woodbury, New Jersey.

Capital Tacos to Make Northeast Debut with Most Recent Deal in New Jersey

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-08-24T10:47:13-04:00August 24th, 2023|Tags: Capital Tacos, fast-casual Tex-Mex restaurant franchise, Taco Chain|

Casual Tex-Mex Franchise Announces Plans for their First-Ever New Jersey Restaurant Location.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, N.J. — Capital Tacos, the small-town taco shop turned nationally-acclaimed Tex-Mex restaurant franchise, is taking the taste of Tex-Mex #DoneRight to Middlesex County after having secured the brand’s first-ever franchise agreement for the state of New Jersey as it continues its rapid expansion into new markets across the country.

Parth and Yash Patel, two New Jersey natives responsible for bringing this latest franchise deal to market, are brothers, and share a family background steeped in entrepreneurship that spans a multitude of industries. The pair saw an opportunity to introduce an innovative and award-winning take on Tex-Mex cuisine that simply doesn’t exist in their region.

They hope to introduce additional Capital Tacos locations throughout the surrounding communities and beyond once the public has had the opportunity to familiarize itself with the flavor and creativity that have made the brand the fan-favorite concept it is today.

“Our current goal is to find the right home for Capital Tacos in New Jersey,” Parth shared. “Although we haven’t made any final decisions, we’re particularly drawn to real estate options in Middlesex County. We’re hopeful we can find the proper real estate and begin the buildout process as quickly as possible to stay on track for an opening in the early months of 2024.”

Since launching its franchise program in early 2022, Capital Tacos has expanded far beyond its Tampa homebase, with brick-and-mortar restaurants open or under development in Atlanta, Charlotte, Denver, Tulsa, New Jersey, and markets throughout Florida, many of which have opened just this summer.

“We couldn’t be more excited to expand Capital Tacos into the Northeast. More specifically, into the Middlesex County area,” said Josh Luger, Co-founder of Capital Tacos. “Both Yash and Parth will make excellent additions to our franchise family, and their hope to continue building the brand’s footprint in the state is core to the fabric of making our one-of-a-kind flavors and menu available to the masses.”

Capital Tacos is currently seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees interested in new career opportunities or those looking to diversify their current portfolios.

Capital Tacos is a nationally-ranked, fast-casual Tex-Mex restaurant franchise founded in Tampa, Florida, that currently operates, or will imminently be operating, across the states of Florida, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Oklahoma.  They’ve been named one of America’s Top 40 Hottest Fast Casual Brands and one of the 11 Taco Chains Disrupting Fast Casual Sector by QSR Magazine, a top 3 taco in the country by Business Insider/Foursquare, and the top taco restaurant in Tampa / St. Petersburg by Yelp, amongst a variety of other awards.

With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 287 Percent, SPENGA Holdings Ranks No. 1953 Among America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.

NEW YORK — Inc. revealed today that SPENGA Holdings ranks No. 1953 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.

“We are honored and proud to be recognized by Inc. as one of the fastest-growing private companies. We have been faced with many challenges over the last few years and this is a testament to the strength of the SPENGA Network as well as our loyal & dedicated members,” said SPENGA CEO Roger McGreal.
