Turning Toilets Into a Luxury Business: The Stahla Services Story

Most people don’t think about restrooms — until they need one. Grant and Erin Stahla built Stahla Services LLC, a Nebraska-based company that provides high-end mobile restroom, shower, locker room, and specialty trailers for construction sites, commercial remodels, disaster response, and major events across the country. What started as a college startup operating out of a metal shop outside Lincoln has grown into a national operation rooted in quality, culture, and intentional leadership. On this episode of Building Nebraska, the Stahlas share how they scaled an asset-heavy service business, navigated cash-flow pressure, hired for culture first, and learned how to run a growing company together as husband and wife — without losing sight of their values.
