Restaurant franchise ranks 2,475th among America’s fastest-growing private companies

August 20, 2024 // Franchising.com // Tampa, Florida – Ford’s Garage, the 1920s garage-style burger and craft beer restaurant franchise, has been named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for the first time in company history. The unique dining concept ranks No. 2,475 on the annual list – a tribute to the brand’s continued growth across the country.

“We are very honored to be included on the Inc. 5000 list alongside other respected brands across the country,” said Dave Ragosa, vice president of franchise development at Ford’s Garage. “Our restaurant concept, which combines delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere, is well received by franchise investors and we are experiencing impressive growth as we expand to new locations.”

The Inc. 5000 Class of 2024 represents companies that have achieved rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressures, rising capital costs and seemingly insurmountable 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. “Seeing all the fascinating and surprising ways companies are transforming industries, from healthcare and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating to me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations also to this year’s honorees, who grew their companies rapidly despite the economic upheavals we’ve all faced over the past three years, from supply chain issues to inflation to changes in the labor market.”
