Stratus Building Solutions has been ranked #228 on the 2025 Franchise Times Top 400, the most comprehensive ranking of the largest U.S. franchise systems by global sales. This marks another major milestone for the fast-growing brand, highlighting its position as a top contender in the booming $90 billion commercial cleaning industry.
The Franchise Times 400 ranking, compiled through independent analysis of franchise disclosure documents, SEC filings, and systemwide sales data, reflects a year of record-breaking growth for Stratus, which currently operates 93 Master Territories and more than 5,000 Unit Franchisees across the U.S. and Canada.
“Our consistent growth is the result of an opportunity-driven model that empowers entrepreneurs while meeting real business demand,” said Doug Flaig, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions.
Stratus operates on a scalable, three-tier franchise model, providing entry points for both individual entrepreneurs and master franchise owners. The brand continues to target high-demand, underserved regions like New Mexico, Mississippi, and North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad, where commercial cleaning demand is on the rise.
With average unit volumes exceeding $3.1 million, 90% recurring revenue, and nine distinct income streams, Stratus offers a compelling business opportunity in an essential and recession-resistant category.
“Our continued presence on the Franchise Times 400 list reinforces the strength of our model and the scalability of the Stratus opportunity,” added Rob Lancit, VP of Franchise Development at Stratus Building Solutions. “Entrepreneurs are drawn to our system because it combines low overhead and high support with a mission-driven service that businesses depend on. We’re doing more than building franchises; we’re creating pathways for lasting success in one of the most essential industries in the world.”
