City Wide Celebrates 50 years!
City Wide Celebrates 50 years!October 03, 2011
The end of 2011 marks half a century of growth and success for City Wide Maintenance. Starting in Lenexa, Kan., in 1961, founder Frank Oddo decided to open his own janitorial company when he couldn’t find a reliable company to clean his father’s grocery store.
In the beginning, Frank worked 6 days a week for 12 hours a day to build his company from the ground up. He was the acting sales team, operations team and relied on his wife, Beth, for administrative and financial support.
In 1996, Frank’s second son, Jeff, took over as the active President. A visionary, like his father, Jeff believed City Wide could operate at a much more professional level than traditional janitorial companies. Jeff is credited with redirecting the business model to function as it does today. City Wide handles the management, quality control and focuses on representing the needs of the client while working with independent, established janitorial and maintenance companies to perform the maintenance services.
Jeff also created an opportunity in 2001 for other like-minded entrepreneur’s to build their own business and establish a company operating with the City Wide business model. Today, City Wide has more than 35 locations across the country and continues to grow.
Nearly 50 years after Frank Oddo won his first account, City Wide has become one of the country’s superior service management companies. We provide building maintenance in hundreds of buildings throughout the United States and clean nearly 100 million square feet of commercial space every night.
Congratulations to Frank and Beth Oddo, along with their family, on everything they have built for themselves and all the people who call City Wide their home. We can’t wait to celebrate another 50 years!
