Kaunas, Lithuania, November 24, 2009…Stratus Building Solutions of St. Louis, Missouri, USA announces the opening of a new Master Franchise in Lithuania that will serve as a business model for Stratus Building Solutions’ franchise entry into other European nations as the company expands operations globally.

This new Master Franchise in Kaunas, Lithuania precedes our plans to expand to Estonia and Latvia in the near future, and complements our plans to enter Central and South America in 2010.”

Pete Frese, President, said, “Many of our franchisees are of Eastern European descent who are achieving the American Dream of successful business ownership.
