At Stratus, our story isn’t just about awards and milestones — it’s about leadership and innovation.

Why Multi-Unit Franchise Ownership Matters
Multi-unit franchise ownership offers entrepreneurs greater revenue potential, stronger local market presence, and long-term wealth-building opportunities. However, Rob emphasizes that scaling requires careful planning — including honest self-assessment, strong staffing, and a deep understanding of market demand.
The Benefits of Scaling with Stratus

Increased revenue streams and market visibility
Ability to spread fixed costs and negotiate stronger supplier terms
Greater overall business valuation and exit opportunities
