For over 70 years, it has grown into one of the nation’s longest-standing facility solutions companies, now operating across 109+ franchise locations in the U.S. and Canada with plans for full market sellout by 2030. Guided by its “Ripple Effect” philosophy, City Wide focuses on positively impacting employees, clients, contractors, and communities through initiatives like the 31-Day Kindness Campaign and monthly Ripple nominations. Its contractor-first model supports thousands of locally owned businesses while serving national accounts, and its culture of giving back has earned franchisee leaders recognition from the International Franchise Association for their contributions., sidekick_commission_1=30000, community_impact=City Wide: Spreading the Ripple At City Wide, “spreading the ripple” is more than a phrase—it’s our mission in action. The idea is simple: small acts of kindness and leadership can multiply into extraordinary impact for our people, partners, and communities. Over the years, this philosophy has taken shape in many ways: a 31-Day Kindness Campaign, the creation of the City Wide Foundation, and ongoing recognition of franchisees and employees who embody the ripple effect in their markets. One of the most visible examples happens at our annual convention, where the host franchisee selects a charity to benefit from our system-wide fundraising. In 2024, Stuart Moyer chose the YMCA, and in just two hours, together we raised over $600,000. In past years, franchisees have directed support to local nonprofits ranging from children’s programs to health and wellness organizations—underscoring how personal choices can drive collective action. Franchisees also live the ripple daily: building local economies by partnering with small contractors, volunteering in their communities, and raising funds for causes that matter most. Leaders like John Duffy and Steve Howerton, recognized by the International Franchise Association, embody how this ripple spreads—turning franchise success into community transformation. Ultimately, spreading the ripple reflects our belief that when we lift others up—through kindness, philanthropy, and opportunity—we strengthen not only our business, but the communities we’re privileged to serve., hs_object_source_detail_1=Franchisor Web Application , competitive_advantage_3=Recession Resistant, competitive_advantage_2=Scalability, registration_illinois=Registered, affiliate_brands_owned=None, competitive_advantage_1=Empire Builder Territories, business_model_b2b_percentage=100%, contact_email=ahartwig@gocitywide.com, competitive_advantage_7=25 Year Franchising Legacy, competitive_advantage_6=B2B, fbr_survey_link=https://campaigns.franchisesidekick.com/fbr-survey-information?brand_name=City%20Wide, competitive_advantage_5= Executive Model, competitive_advantage_4=Asset Light, number_type_of_employees=2 Sales Executives , hs_createdate=1753976807722, contact_last_name=Hartwig, display_on_website=true, employee_skillset_type=Compensated more with a specific skillset, locations_open=109, registration_south_dakota=Registered, item_19_label__1=Average Unit Volume, e2_visa_candidates=No, joined_inventory_at=1757980800000, required_net_worth=700000, registration_hawaii=Registered, brand_summary=City Wide isn’t a cleaning company—it’s a B2B sales and management franchise built on one of the most scalable and supported models in franchising.
