76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati Celebrates Grand Opening with Blue Ash Ribbon Cutting

September 24, 2026 // Franchising.com // BLUE ASH, Ohio — 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati celebrated its grand opening on Wednesday, September 23 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Towne Square Pavilion in Blue Ash, bringing together local elected officials, business leaders, community partners, family and friends to recognize the locally owned business and its continued growth in the Greater Cincinnati market.

Blue Ash Mayor Jill Cole joined 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati owners Andrew Ford and Dan Menninger for the celebration, offering remarks and participating in the ceremonial ribbon cutting. Steve Eroskey, president of the Blue Ash Chamber of Commerce, and representatives from 76 FENCE leadership also participated in the event.

The grand opening follows the business’s soft opening earlier this summer. Ford and Menninger operate two 76 FENCE territories providing professional residential and commercial fencing services throughout Greater Cincinnati, including Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Mason, West Chester, Liberty Township, Montgomery, Hyde Park, Indian Hill, Lebanon, Middletown and surrounding communities.

“Since we began operating this summer, we’ve had the opportunity to meet homeowners, businesses, and partners throughout the area, and the response has reinforced why we were so excited about bringing 76 FENCE to the Greater Cincinnati area,” said Dan Menninger, co-owner of 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati. “This event was a chance to celebrate that early momentum, thank the people who have supported us, and continue building the relationships that we believe will be essential to our long-term success.”

Ford and Menninger launched 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati after careers spanning technology, consulting, operations, and relationship management. The longtime colleagues were drawn to the opportunity to build a scalable local business backed by established systems, technology, and operational support. Both Ohio natives, Ford and Menninger have deep ties to the region and saw an opportunity to bring a disciplined, customer-focused approach to the local fencing industry.

“We didn’t enter this business simply to install fences. We want to build a company that Greater Cincinnati homeowners and businesses know they can rely on,” said Andrew Ford, co-owner of 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati. “That means communicating clearly, doing what we say we’re going to do, and delivering quality work every step of the way. Having Mayor Jill Cole, the Blue Ash Chamber of Commerce, and so many members of the community join us for this milestone made the celebration especially meaningful.”

“Blue Ash is proud to welcome businesses that are committed to investing in our community and building strong relationships with the people they serve,” said Blue Ash Mayor Jill Cole. “We congratulate Andrew, Dan, and the entire 76 FENCE Greater Cincinnati team on this milestone and wish them continued success as they grow their business in the region.”

For Ford and Menninger, community involvement is an important part of their vision for the company, and they aim to develop long-term relationships with homeowners, businesses, vendors and other community partners while maintaining professionalism, reliability, and quality workmanship.
