June 01, 2026 // Franchising.com // COLUMBUS, Ohio — 76 FENCE, one of the nation’s fastest-growing fencing installation franchise brands, has expanded its Ohio footprint with the addition of new multi-territory franchise owner and Regional Developer Dominic Rizzo MD in the greater Columbus market.
A Cincinnati native and physician with more than 25 years of experience, Rizzo is bringing an uncommon background to the fencing installation industry as he transitions from healthcare leadership into entrepreneurship and franchise development. His four territories will serve Ashville, Bexley, Blacklick, Brice, Canal Winchester, Circleville, Columbus, Commercial Point, Galloway, Grove City, Groveport, Harrisburg, Hilliard, Laurelville, Lithopolis, Lockbourne, Marble Cliff, New Albany, Pleasant Corners, and Westerville, among others.
Rizzo said his decision to join 76 FENCE stemmed from a desire to build a scalable business that still centered around people, service, and long-term community impact.
“Healthcare taught me the importance of systems, communication, trust, and accountability,” said Dominc Rizzo MD, franchise owner and Regional Developer of 76 FENCE Greater Columbus. “As I explored opportunities outside of medicine, I was drawn to 76 FENCE because it offered the chance to apply those same principles in an industry where customer experience can often be inconsistent. I saw an opportunity to build something meaningful for both homeowners and future franchise owners.”
Rizzo noted that Columbus’ continued residential expansion, strong housing market, and rapidly developing suburban communities made the region an attractive market for long-term growth.
“Homeowners across the Columbus area continue investing heavily in their homes, outdoor living spaces, and property improvements,” said Rizzo. “That demand, combined with the region’s continued population growth, creates a strong foundation for a scalable fence installation business built around quality, professionalism, and consistency.”
As part of his role as Regional Developer, Rizzo plans to help recruit and mentor additional franchise owners throughout Eastern Ohio as the brand continues expanding across the state.
“For me, this opportunity is bigger than just my territories,” said Rizzo. “I’m excited about helping build a network of strong operators throughout Ohio who are committed to raising the standard in the fencing industry while creating successful local businesses in their communities.”
“Dominic’s background, leadership experience, and systems-oriented mindset make him an exceptional fit for both franchise ownership and regional development,” said Ed Samane, Chief Executive Officer of 76 FENCE. “We’re continuing to attract highly accomplished professionals from a wide range of industries who see the opportunity to build scalable businesses while helping elevate standards across the fence installation industry.”
76 FENCE Greater Columbus will operate from its headquarters at 204 Oak St. in Columbus and plans to officially celebrate its launch with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event later this June.
