(Lenexa, KS) June 13, 2008 – City Wide Franchise Company, the country’s leading sales and management company in the building maintenance industry, announces it's awarded its first franchise within the state of Florida.

Now located in 17 markets with the single corporate location, City Wide is proud to welcome Mr. Cary Fourman as the new franchisee for City Wide Maintenance of Jacksonville. His exclusive territory encompasses the entire major metro market of Jacksonville, Florida.

“With his sales management experience and previous business ownership within another franchise system, Cary Fourman brings a high level of energy and expertise to the City Wide franchise system,” says Jeff Oddo, President of City Wide Franchise Company. “I’m very excited Cary chose to be our trail blazer in Florida. He’s the first City Wide owner in the state of Florida and represents our continued push into the southeast.”

City Wide Franchise Company offers a professional sales and management franchise opportunity within the building maintenance industry. City Wide utilizes a unique business model to cross-sell and deliver 20+ services to its commercial clients, including janitorial, carpet cleaning, window washing, parking lot maintenance and tenant improvements. City Wide is the “Total Solution” to its clients for building maintenance services.

City Wide focuses exclusively on the professional, B2B market by capitalizing on the growing business trend of “outsourcing.” Auto-renewing contracts offer compounding growth within a virtually recession-proof industry. The City Wide franchise model requires few employees to operate the business and requires little to no inventory or equipment investment.

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