A City Wide Franchisee is Recognized by Inc. Magazine

(Lenexa, KS)  – City Wide Franchise Company is proud to announce one of its franchisees has made the first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest growing companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. Magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

As reported and ranked by Inc. Magazine, City Wide Maintenance of Colorado has enjoyed a 304% growth in sales in the past three years, earning it a rank of 1,175 of the 5,000 fastest growing U.S. companies.  

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.  “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.” 

Complete information on this year’s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year founded.
