LENEXA, KS, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — City Wide Facility Solutions, the nation’s leading management company in the building maintenance industry, today announced it has again been recognized as one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. For 47 years, The Franchise 500® has been recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, and placement in the ranking has been a highly sought-after honor within the franchise industry. In the 2026 Franchise 500®, City Wide Facility Solutions has ranked No. 126, up from #143 in 2025, for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, operational and marketing support, and brand power.
“For 47 years, the Franchise 500 has been the gold standard for identifying franchise excellence. This year’s ranking proves that the best brands don’t just survive changing markets; they thrive in them,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine’s editor in chief. “These 500 companies represent some of the most reliable pathways to business ownership in America, each one vetted through our rigorous analysis of what actually drives franchisee success.”
In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 47-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. Each franchise is thoroughly evaluated and given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
“We are thrilled to be once again recognized in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 ranking, as a reflection of our continued growth and the strength of our scalable franchise system,” said Jeff Oddo, CEO and owner of City Wide Facility Solutions. “This achievement underscores the dedication of our successful franchisees, who deliver exceptional results and uphold our proven business model.
