Franchise Influencers: Rob Lancit, Vice President of Franchise Development, Stratus Clean

In short

1851 Franchise’s annual Influencer Issue is described by the publication as a list compiled with the help of the franchise community of people making moves in the industry. The 2023 entry for Rob Lancit, written up by staff writer Savannah Bilbo, consists almost entirely of a first-person statement from him.

In it he says he has spent more than 26 years helping Canadian and U.S. franchisors expand, and has helped hundreds of business owners find a franchise that fits their goals. He says he cannot imagine life without being an entrepreneur, and that one of his biggest thrills is helping people leave jobs working for others and take a chance on themselves.

He explains that he founded The Franchise Zone for that purpose. Its process starts with a self-assessment to show a prospective owner which kinds of opportunities match, followed by a search using a method he developed over those years. He lists the roles he has held: franchise consultant, franchisor, franchisee, area developer, and builder of several online franchise directories. His point in listing them is that he has probably been where the reader is.

The page also carries a company profile of Stratus with location and investment figures as of 2023.
