Entrepreneur creates an Oasis in a franchising desert

Between 1989 and 2014, partners Tim Evankovich and Steve Robinson built The Cleaning Authority from a one-unit company in the Baltimore area into a nationwide operation with more than 185 franchises.

Now on his own as owner and CEO of Bonita Springs-based Oasis Senior Advisors, he’s building a nationwide network of franchises using the same model he created at The Cleaning Authority — methodical expansion and an atypical level of support to his franchisees.
