commercial facility management company

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.

Managing more than 20 services for its clients, City Wide offers one point of contact and provides professional communication and project management through every stage of the experience.

LENEXA, Kan. — City Wide Facility Solutions of Tampa Bay, the nation’s leading commercial facility management company, raised $621,000 for Learning Independence for Tomorrow (LiFT) at its annual franchise convention this past March.

City Wide’s mission is to create a Ripple Effect by positively impacting the people and communities it supports. Franchisees from nearly 95 City Wide franchise locations came together to support the Tampa Bay location as part of its ongoing partnership with the nonprofit. Opened in 2010 by local entrepreneurs Steve Howerton and John Duffy, the Tampa Bay franchise location has a long-standing track record of supporting neurodiversity and LiFT through the nonprofit’s microbusiness program.

“Many of the educational and support systems that someone with neurodiversity requires aren’t readily available. Unfortunately, this means people with neurodiversity are isolated and not given the resources to survive,” said Howerton, “LiFT provides these life-saving resources that allow these individuals to learn and succeed. I’m humbled by the support from the City Wide system to come together and help spread a massive ripple.”

LiFT’s mission is to inspire and empower people with neurodiversity to learn, thrive, and succeed. The organization’s goal is to level the playing field for individuals with learning differences and neurodiversity by providing them with exceptional academics, life skills, career training and opportunities to strengthen social skills and building meaningful friendships.

“LiFT was overwhelmed and incredibly humbled by this level of support from City Wide. To see a company make it part of their culture to give back, to recognize an organization improving the lives of an underserved population, and to promote a national mobilized effort to support a united cause was truly awe inspiring,” said Shawn Naugle, CEO of LiFT. “Having recently celebrated our 10^th year in operation, LiFT has never seen this kind of philanthropic support from a community partner and could not be more thankful and proud to have a team like City Wide standing shoulder-to-shoulder to promote the LiFT Motto of ‘Change a Life, Change the World.'”

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 choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.
