Restaurant Franchise Ranks 2,475 Among America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Tampa, Fla. (Aug. 16, 2024) – Ford’s Garage, the 1920s garage-themed burger and craft beer restaurant franchise is included for the first time in company history on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The unique dining concept ranks 2,475 on the annual list — a tribute to the brand’s continued growth throughout the country.
“We are so honored to be included on the Inc. 5000 list among other respected brands across the country,” said Dave Ragosa, Vice President of Franchise Development at Ford’s Garage. “Our restaurant concept combination of delicious food and a fun atmosphere is resonating with franchise investors and we’re seeing impressive growth with the expansion of new locations.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
