Own Your Future

We make business ownership attainable with one of the lowest franchise fees in the nation and you don't even need prior experience.

Andy Manz, Publisher

After finding out his wife was pregnant with their first, this Kansas City Restaurant owner realized he needed a lifestyle change. Now he's the most successful publisher in the nation.

Whether you are overworked, missing family moments, lacking community, or some other various reason... you need a life change. Being a community influencer means building a business that is your own; that will last for generations. Connecting community members with local businesses and having a hand on the pulse of where you call home.

Check out how Andy's life looks after starting with us.

Who Are We

What started as a way for our founder, Steven, to break free from just being an employee soon became a process for anyone to break away from the corporate grind. Steven started his first publication over 12 years ago but quickly realized that by systematizing the challenging aspects of printing he could offer this to anyone that had a passion for their community and a desire to own their own business. He and a few others then launched City Lifestyle and below is where we are today.
