Our Why
Our philosophy starts with our CEO and Owner, Jeff Oddo, who is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of as many members of the City Wide community as possible. We call this our ripple effect which impacts our franchisees, our clients, our contractors, our vendors and our employees.
Today our organization’s mission is fully committed to helping our community members be the very best they can be by saving time and solving problems for all.
Jeff chose franchising because of a sincere desire to help others.
“I wanted to franchise the concept because I wanted to move from being ‘financially successful to ‘eternally significant.’ I am not trying to say franchising is purely altruistic, but I really want to help others achieve the same kind of success that I was blessed enough to achieve in Kansas City,” said Jeff Oddo.
Jeff continued, “Rather than growing exclusively with corporate-owned stores where all of the ownership and control remains in the family, I would prefer to share the opportunities with others because I believe I can attract better talent who are in a financial position to help us not only build an industry-leading brand, but to maximizing the ripple due to better and faster results.”
Our goal is to be the largest building maintenance solutions company in the world and a top 100 franchise concept. City Wide is already the number one sales and management concept for people who want to focus on sales and the client experience. Our results will cause a positive ripple so large from serving others that it will not only change the industry, but also the lives of millions of people.
Jeff is passionate about helping children and families be the best they can be, as demonstrated by the causes he supports and his book, The 10 Kidmandments.
