  City Wide Maintenance is a family-owned and operated company founded by Frank Oddo in 1959

The City Wide Business Model has proven to be the greatest advantage to franchise owners and clients. It allows our company to offer a vast array of quality, professional services at a price that is competitive, although rarely the cheapest.

Janitorial Service as a Leading Strategy
Strategically, our first responsibility to City Wide clients is to solve all problems associated with their janitorial issues. Once City Wide has earned the trust of the client through performance we are then able to sell additional services and play at a higher level -- a more profitable level -- than the typical cleaning company. Once City Wide has proven itself with janitorial service and then another service, the “share of wallet” per client grows in volume and profitability.

Janitorial Supplies are Profitable
City Wide is aligned with a national supply program to provide supplies for our clients. This has proven to be one of the most profitable areas for our franchise owners. All clients need paper towels, tissue as well as other consumable supplies for their facilities, like hand soap and trash can liners.

“City Wide is our janitorial company, but it’s their ‘extra services’ that truly set them apart from the others I’ve used in the past. The floors at our facilities take a lot of abuse so I call my Account Manager on an ‘as needed’ basis to get the floors stripped and waxed. They’re beautiful!  City Wide just adds it to my monthly bill. It’s so simple this way!“
