Stratus Building Solutions has once again earned its place on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500®, climbing three spots in the 2026 ranking. As the number one commercial cleaning franchise in the country, this recognition reflects the company's continued upward momentum, financial stability, and the dedication of its growing network of franchise owners.
What the Franchise 500 Ranking Really Measures
The Franchise 500 is no small honor. For 47 years, it has served as the gold standard for evaluating franchise excellence. Each brand is thoroughly assessed across more than 150 data points, spanning costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial stability. Only the top 500 scorers earn a place on the list, ranked by their cumulative scores.
Stratus earned its spot through outstanding performance across every one of these categories, fueled by rapid systemwide growth and the dedication of its franchise owners across the United States and Canada. That kind of consistent upward movement does not happen by chance.
"Being ranked once again among the top brands on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list is a powerful reflection of the forward momentum Stratus continues to build year after year," said Doug Flaig, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. "As demand for commercial cleaning continues to rise, we remain focused on scaling responsibly while delivering long-term value to our partners and the communities we serve."
For nearly two decades, Stratus has offered environmentally friendly commercial cleaning services to businesses across North America, consistently raising the bar in the building services industry through dedicated local entrepreneurs and regional support offices throughout the United States and Canada.
