Stratus Building Solutions Is Growing Fast — and So Is Opportunity
At Stratus, our story isn’t just about awards. It’s about the franchisees building the future of commercial cleaning across North America.
With the commercial cleaning industry projected to top $110 billion by 2033, Stratus Building Solutions is meeting the moment with a smart, scalable franchise system that’s adding new markets and new leaders. In the first half of 2025 alone, Stratus welcomed 10 new master franchise territories, bringing the brand to 93 territories and counting.
Master franchisees serve as regional business owners, building their own operations while empowering local unit franchisees. It’s a model designed for serious entrepreneurs, and it’s working.
“We’re building a company and a culture that people want to be a part of,” says Doug Flaig, CEO of Stratus. “You can’t have success without a solid foundation, and we’ve got a dedicated, passionate team leading the way.”
New locations in Charleston, New Haven, and Westchester highlight the growing demand for reliable, eco-friendly commercial cleaning. For new owners like Matt Ferrer, age 22, it’s a chance to build something big and meaningful.
“I get to grow a business, support my community, and create opportunity — all with a brand that has a proven system behind it,” Matt says.
With more than 4,500 unit franchisees, 1,152 new franchises added last year, and multiple #1 rankings from Entrepreneur and FRANdata, Stratus is leading the pack in growth, support, and impact.
