Fast Casual Restaurant Chain Debuting at #185
BURGERFI, one of the most rapidly-growing, fast-casual restaurant chains in America, announced today its first-time ranking among Inc.’s list of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the United States for 2015. Debuting at #185, BURGERFI scored a coveted spot on the Inc. 500, representing the top companies from the larger Inc. 5000 annual list.
The first restaurant opened in 2011 and was founded by gourmet chefs committed to being better in a world of fast food hamburgers. It’s “Never Ever Program” means no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones, chemicals, or additives are ever used.
BURGERFI is the only fast casual restaurant chain listed in the top 500, and also earned the following Inc. 5000 accolades:
- #10 Miami Metro Area
- #11 Top Food and Beverage Companies
- #18 Top Florida Companies
“It is an honor to be recognized by Inc. as one of the fastest-growing, quick casual chains in America,” said Corey Winograd, Chief Executive Officer. “This achievement is consistent with our vision. As we look forward to further growth, we will continue to provide more customers with the fresh, quality, all-natural options they desire.”
In addition to its Inc. ranking, BURGERFI was recently named the third fastest-growing fast casual chain by Technomic. BURGERFI ranked on Technomic’s list for three consecutive years, following its number two ranking in 2014 and number one ranking in 2013.
Sustained national expansion and success resulted in the addition of new locations and new-found markets for the company, resulting in a three-year growth of 2,249 percent. The company reported system-wide gross sales of $66.4 million in 2014.
BURGERFI has 72 locations in the United States, stretching across 22 states, with international locations to open in Mexico, Panama and the United Kingdom later this year. For franchise information contact Daniel Collins, CFE at 954-263-2056 or Dan@BurgerFi.com.
