## Story

Stratus Building Solutions has been awarded with the title of the Fastest Growing Franchise by Entrepreneur magazine. Moreover, Stratus is pleased to be recognized as the #1 Commercial Cleaning Franchise as well.

Founded in 2006, Stratus Building Solutions offers training and support to franchisees while staying committed to safe, efficient cleaning and janitorial practices. Stratus specializes in everything from carpet and window cleaning to hard floor care and disinfecting.

"You can't have success without a solid foundation, and we've got a dedicated, passionate team leading the way," said Doug Flaig, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. "I couldn't be prouder of the great work our franchisees have put in and the dedication that makes Stratus stand out not only in commercial cleaning but the franchising industry as a whole."

These rankings come from data collected during the annual Franchise 500 application process. In Entrepreneur's continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company's ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

Each franchise is then given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranked order.
