Local Entrepreneurs Expand 76 FENCE in Greater Cincinnati with Two-Territory Launch

May 05, 2026 // Franchising.com // CINCINNATI, OH — 76 FENCE is continuing its Midwest expansion with the launch of two territories in the Greater Cincinnati market under the ownership of business partners Andrew Ford and Dan Menninger.

The two-territory agreement marks the brand’s entry into the Cincinnati region and reflects continued strategic growth into strong residential markets where established neighborhoods, active real estate activity and steady population trends drive sustained demand for professional home services.

Ford and Menninger bring complementary professional backgrounds rooted in leadership, operations, technology, and relationship management. They were drawn to the opportunity to build a scalable business and collaborate with skilled professionals across the industry to deliver a high level of service and consistency for customers.

“Cincinnati is a market we know well and believe in,” said Andrew Ford. “It’s a city built on strong neighborhoods and long-term homeownership. We saw an opportunity to introduce a more disciplined, process-driven approach to fencing that prioritizes communication, reliability, and authenticity.”

The decision to align with the brand was described as based on its infrastructure and growth model.

“We were looking for a business with real systems behind it,” said Dan Menninger. “76 FENCE offers structured training, operational support and technology that allow us to scale thoughtfully across multiple territories. The two-territory commitment gives us room to grow while maintaining a strong local focus.”

Cincinnati’s housing stock, including historic properties and newer development, shows demand for fencing services. Suburban communities in the region have steady activity related to investment and renovation.

“Cincinnati is a strong and stable market that aligns well with our long-term expansion strategy,” said Ed Samane, president of 76 FENCE. “Dan and Andrew bring operational discipline and a clear vision for growth. Their two-territory launch is an important step as we expand our footprint into Ohio.”

The Cincinnati operations will support residential and commercial fencing installations and use standard estimation and installation processes. Ford and Menninger plan to focus on installation capacity and relationships with vendors and the local business community.

“Our goal is to build something sustainable,” Ford said. “We want to create a reputation in Cincinnati for doing what we say we’ll do, delivering quality work, and setting the standard for excellence.”

Community engagement will be central to their growth strategy.

“Cincinnati values relationships and trust,” said Menninger. “We intend to be active in the communities we serve and build long-term partnerships, not just complete projects.”

The Cincinnati activity aligns with the brand’s nationwide footprint in residential markets.
