Strausstown
Strausstown is a small Berks County borough in northwestern Berks on the I-78 / Old Route 22 corridor at the foot of Blue Mountain — a walkable Main Street village surrounded by Upper Tulpehocken Township farm country. The working business mix is small retail and restaurants, trades and ag-adjacent operators serving the surrounding townships, and a handful of professional and home-office firms. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Berks County operators at this scale — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — and the math frequently lands well even on a one- or two-owner shop.
