February 02, 2021 // Franchising.com // LENEXA, Kan. - City Wide Franchise announced the addition of franchise industry veteran, David Braun, to its franchise development team as director of franchise development.

“In the decade City Wide has been franchising, it has made great strides in establishing itself in communities across the country and in Canada,” said Braun. “There is still an abundance of opportunity for City Wide to grow, and that is largely due to the strength of the franchise model. I look forward to working closely with the team to assess with fresh eyes what they have been doing, and implement new tactics to continue City Wide’s success and significantly increase its footprint across the nation.”

Braun has more than 20 years of experience in growing and developing national franchise brands like Victory Lane Quick Oil Change, Allegra, Art Van Furniture and United Franchise Group.

City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities and Canada by streamlining facility solutions for more than 20 interior and exterior services for commercial facilities including janitorial, disinfecting, handyman services and parking lot maintenance. Taking the onus from building owners and property management businesses that typically have to choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.
