76 Fence, one of the nation’s fastest-growing fencing franchises, marked its official entry into Florida with a ribbon-cutting celebration on Sept. 22, 2025. The event, held in partnership with the DeLand and Greater West Volusia Chamber of Commerce during its Office Octane program at the Wayne G. Sanborn Activity Center, celebrated the grand opening of 76 Fence’s first two Florida territories: Orlando–Winter Park and DeLand–Port Orange.
Friends, family, chamber members and local business leaders came together to recognize Diego Sanchez, a lifelong Floridian, Central Florida regional developer and franchise owner of 76 Fence Orlando–Winter Park and 76 Fence DeLand–Port Orange, who will oversee growth throughout the Greater Orlando area while directly managing operations for his two newly launched territories.
A seasoned leader with more than 25 years of experience, Sanchez brings strong community values to his new role. In addition to delivering premium fencing solutions to local homeowners, businesses and HOAs, he plans to actively support the region through chamber engagement, youth sports sponsorships and participation in community events.
“This ribbon cutting is about more than opening our doors — it’s about opening new opportunities for our neighbors,” said Sanchez. “I’m thankful for the incredible support from my family, the chamber and this community. Together, we’ll show Central Florida what 76 Fence is all about: dependable service, strong relationships and a commitment to excellence.”
Since launching its franchise program in late 2023, 76 Fence has expanded into Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Pennsylvania. The brand’s entry into Florida represents a major milestone, with additional territories expected to be announced across the state in the months ahead.
“Diego is exactly the kind of leader we want representing 76 Fence,” said Ed Samane, CEO of 76 Fence. “As Central Florida regional developer and franchise owner, his vision, his heart for the community and his ability to build strong teams will set the tone for our growth across Florida.”
76 Fence offers a full range of residential and commercial fencing services, including wood, vinyl, steel, aluminum, composite and chain link.
