Results vary. See Item 19 of the current FDD for full context. This week's Franchise of the Week is the Voda Cleaning and Restoration franchise: a two-in-one service model combining specialty cleaning with water and mold restoration, where a large share of the work is paid by an insurance carrier rather than by the homeowner. We compare the 2025 and 2026 FDD side by side, what it costs to open, the franchise fee, the royalty and brand fund, and what the FDD reports the top-performing owners are doing in annual sales. We also get into why a recession-resistant service model scales differently from retail franchising, and what 200 territories sold in three years tells you about a young franchise system. ------------------ Considering Investing In A Franchise? 🔍 Request a Territory Check | Check territory availability here: http://www.franchiseempire.com/checkterritory?utm_source=fesep232026 🔄 Franchise Resales | Find existing businesses for sale: https://www.franchiseempire.com/resales?utm_source=fesep232026 ------------------ Ready to Build Your Empire? 🚨 Join The #1 Community for Owning a Money-Making Franchise: https://www.skool.com/franchiseempirebuilders/about 🚀 Franchise Buyers Academy - Speed up your journey with our step-by-step mini-course: https://www.franchiseempire.com/FBA?utm_source=fesep232026 💰 Get Business Grants From the Government: https://www.franchiseempire.com/bizgrants?utm_source=fesep232026 ------------------ Free Resources to Get You Started!

Drop the Mop: There are 25+ Revenue Streams in the City Wide Facility Solutions Franchise

We appreciate it when we can work with business owners who have been building their franchise business with their family members. Today's podcast was started by Savannah Oddo's grandfather 60 (yes, sixty) years ago, and it still hasn't hit a ceiling on growth. Chantel sits down with Savannah, VP of Franchise Development at City Wide Facility Solutions, to unpack a B2B franchise model that is scalable and strong.

If you were hoping to pick up a mop or a rag, this franchise is not for you. Savannah explains how City Wide Facility Solutions, once a family janitorial company, transformed into a management business with 25+ revenue streams and exclusive territories so that franchisees collaborate instead of compete.

Grab our breakdown of the 5 Low-Cost Businesses That Make $1 Million: https://www.franchiseempire.com/lowcost?utm_source=fejuly192026 What does it take to go from entry-level sales rep to franchise owner in the same business you spent years building from the inside out? In this episode of the Zero to Profitable Franchise Podcast, host Chantel Soumis sits down with Erik Harris, owner and general manager of CertaPro Painters of Needham, Massachusetts. Erik started at Sherwin Williams out of college, spent over seven years as a sales rep at CertaPro, and in late 2020 bought the business from the previous owner in the middle of a global pandemic. He breaks down why he chose to stay with the franchise instead of going independent, how he generated 108 new Google reviews in a single year, why business networking became his highest ROI marketing channel, and what he has had to unlearn as a perfectionist to think like a business owner. If you want to understand what franchise ownership actually looks like day to day, Erik's story gives you a clear picture of what that path actually looks like. ------------------ Considering Investing In A Franchise? 🔍 Request a Territory Check | Check territory availability here: http://www.franchiseempire.com/checkterritory?utm_source=fejuly192026 🔄 Franchise Resales | Find existing businesses for sale: https://www.franchiseempire.com/resales?utm_source=fejuly192026 ------------------ Ready to Build Your Empire? 🚨 Join The #1 Community for Owning a Money-Making Franchise: https://www.skool.com/franchiseempirebuilders/about 🚀 Franchise Buyers Academy - Speed up your journey with our step-by-step mini-course: https://www.franchiseempire.com/FBA?utm_source=fejuly192026 💰 Get Business Grants From the Government: https://www.franchiseempire.com/bizgrants?utm_source=fejuly192026 ------------------ Free Resources to Get You Started!
