COLUMBUS, Ohio (September 6, 2023) – EverLine Coatings, North America’s fastest-growing line striping and pavement maintenance service business, has signed a franchise development agreement with local entrepreneurs, Cristopher Wise, Jarad Barr and Ryan Sharp to open in Columbus by September.

The team of Wise, Barr and Sharp join the EverLine Coatings family with deep roots in the Buckeye state, all coming from different backgrounds to open this unique business together. Wise has spent more than 15 years at Huntington National Bank, recently funding 8 other Everline Coatings and Services franchises as a Small Business Lender. Barr has been a residential real estate realtor with Re/Max Partners for more than the last 12 years while also being a talent manager in the music industry. Sharp spent 26 years with Sherwin Williams, including 12 years as the Market Manager for a location in Marysville, Ohio. The trio have all had a passion for entrepreneurship and believe EverLine Coatings was the best business choice to enter into the world of franchising.

“What EverLine helps bring to the Columbus area is a wide array of services to retailers and commercial property managers that has otherwise not been offered before by any kind of national brand,” said Cris Wise, owner of EverLine Coatings in Central Ohio. “We are excited to become an active business in the community and use our franchise to give back to Central Ohio churches, schools, and other non-profits in a way that leads to a healthier economy and way of life for the people who live here.”

As an emerging full-service pavement maintenance solution, EverLine Coatings continues it’s rapid growth across North America by offering business owners and property managers a preventative solution with proprietary products that last 2-4 times longer than standard traffic paint, plus a full suite of pavement maintenance services, such as asphalt repair, sealcoating, crack-filling, and line striping. 

EverLine Coatings also offers various parking lot services, such as custom branded stenciling and color matching, power washing and parking lot accessory installation such as speed bumps, parking blocks, signs and more. In addition, brand has also built a credible reputation among national accounts serving within the pharmacy, retail and convenience store sectors with interior floor coating applications for safety lines, slip resistant and protective epoxy floor coatings in industrial centers through its EverFloor Durable Brand Division. 

“With pavement everywhere and the ongoing wear and tear for road and parking lot conditions, Wise, Barr and Sharp join the EverLine Coatings franchise network at an exciting time as we continue our growth momentum throughout North America,” said John Evans, CEO and Founder of EverLine Coatings. “We continue to attract entrepreneurs, like these three gentlemen, who are passionate about the idea of preventative and proactive parking lot maintenance and see an in-demand, profitable franchise business. We look forward to seeing them experiencing success with the brand by providing this great service in the Columbus community.”
