NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc.
magazine today revealed that iPic® Entertainment (NASDAQ: IPIC) is
ranked on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking
of the nation's fastest-growing companies. The list represents a
unique look at the most successful companies within the American
economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small
businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland,
LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained
their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"We are honored to receive this distinction and stand among
excellence on this prestigious list," said Hamid Hashemi, Founder and CEO of iPic®
Entertainment. "It is thanks to the hard work and consistent drive
of our team throughout our entertainment and hospitality
destinations that ultimately translates into the unique guest
experience that has become our signature. When our guests are
happy, we are the most successful, and we attribute this
recognition to their unwavering support."
Not only have the companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 (which are
listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in
the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands
August 15) been very competitive
within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering
growth compared with prior lists. The 2018 Inc. 5000 achieved an
astounding three-year average growth of 538.2 percent, and a median
rate of 171.8 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was
$206.1 billion in 2017, accounting
for 664,095 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles
and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region,
and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
"If your company is on the Inc. 5000, it's unparalleled
recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice," says Inc.
editor in chief James Ledbetter.
"The lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What
doesn't change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the
forces that shape our lives."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list
will be held October 17 to 19, 2018,
at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort, in San Antonio, Texas. As always, speakers
include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our
generation.
